Preparation:
Provide each student with colored paper, white paper, markers, scissors, glue or tape, and string or yarn.
Creating the Pages:
House Page: Write “House No.” on a small piece of colored paper. Students will draw a small picture representing their house on a separate piece of white paper and glue it to the colored paper.
Street Page: Write “Street” on a slightly larger piece of colored paper. Students will draw a small picture related to their street on a separate piece of white paper and glue it to the colored paper.
City Page: Write “City” on a larger piece of colored paper. Students will draw a small picture related to their city on a separate piece of white paper and glue it to the colored paper.
State Page: Write “State” on an even larger piece of colored paper. Students will draw a small picture related to their state on a separate piece of white paper and glue it to the colored paper.
Country Page: Write “Country” on a larger piece of colored paper. Students will draw a small picture related to their country on a separate piece of white paper and glue it to the colored paper.
Continent Page: Write “Continent” on a larger piece of colored paper. Students will draw a small picture related to their continent on a separate piece of white paper and glue it to the colored paper.
Earth Page: Write “Earth” on the largest piece of colored paper. Students will draw a small picture representing Earth or the globe on a separate piece of white paper and glue it to the colored paper.
Binding the Pages:
Arrange the pages in order from the smallest (House) to the largest (Earth). Ensure that the sizes of the pages are adjusted so that the smallest page is on top and the largest page is at the bottom.
Bind the pages together using string or yarn. Punch holes along one side of the pages (if using a hole punch) and thread the string through to secure them.
Presentation and Discussion:
Have students present their address books to the class, explaining each page and how it represents different levels of their address.
Discuss the concept of addressing and geographical hierarchy with the class.
