Create an interactive lapbook craft for Matilda by Roald Dahl.

This lapbook activity includes six interactive elements to cut and paste onto a manila folder and allows students to demonstrate their understanding and comprehension of the novel.

The activities include:

1. About the Author – list some facts about Roald Dahl
2. Narrative Structure – note the major plot points of the story
3. Character Cards – includes nine character trading cards and a pocket to store them
4. The Great Glossary – a space to write definitions of advanced vocabulary
5. Book Review – give an opinion about the novel
6. Chokey Quotes – write some noteworthy quotes and store them in the Chokey cupboard.

You can print all the pieces of the lapbook or distribute the corresponding pages over time. An example layout is given on page one, which can help students organise each component to fit in their lapbook.

This lapbook craft activity is featured in the Matilda PACKAGE.
