Strategy Description: This can be done in groups or individually. Each group or student chooses or is given a section or chapter to make a chunky book on. They will put one fact on each page and they can include illustrations or keywords. The cover of the book will illustrate the area that they are investigating.

Strategy implementation example: In social studies, I could use this strategy to look at different cultures that all lived during the same time period. Students can list the differences and similarities and other interesting and important facts about these civilizations. You could also base a chunky book on one civilization and focus on different areas such as inventions, agriculture, important figures, etc.
