Have them stack the pages so that the edges are square and fold it in half (hamburger style). When properly folded, have your students punch holes along the 'binding' and secure the pages together with brads.\n\nInvite your students to use the supplies in your art cabinet to create a colorful cover and title page. On the subsequent pages, encourage your students to think of things their father is good at (e.g. golf, mowing the lawn, cooking, etc.) then write a 'how to guide' for each, taking from what their father does. These can be serious or funny.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExample: Father who plays golf\/Funny\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitle: \"How To Play Golf\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstructions: 1) Dress for the occasion (make sure your socks are to your knees!) 2) Step up to the tee and hit the ball to the left (no matter where the hole actually is!) 3) Be sure to use all the hazards to improve your game - water, trees, sand traps, cart paths, even out-of-bounds!
