How to Complete Research for the Reindeer Lapbook

By the time your student is finished with this lapbook, she will be an expert on reindeer (caribou).

This lapbook was designed to give your student ample research opportunities. I recommend teaching your student how to find quality websites such as National Geographic or National Geographic Kids, or going to the library to get books for this project.

Your student will have to conduct simple research in order to create this lapbook. However, prompts on the pages will guide her through the process and teach her the meanings of new words.

For example, as your student is completing the reindeer predators book, she will read through this information on the page:

What is a predator? A predator is a wild animal that hunts other animals. The hunted animal is called prey.

Record the names of and facts about reindeer predators inside the book.
