The MiniBook offers teachers a simple way to create eight page booklets without staples or tape, and with a single scissor cut. People do make mistakes the first few times, so make extra copies and be prepared to help them fold and make the cut. Be careful to center your copies so that the sections stay within the folds.

1) Carefully fold your paper into eight rectangle Unfold.

2) Fold in half along the horizontal axis. ("Make a hamburger.")
