Neatest idea I've seen in a while

At a workshop the other day, one presenter showed us this very large format book filled with laminated poster sized graphic organizers. I can see me standing in the front of the classroom using that! I always hate doing graphic organizers on the board because I want my picture to be just SO and in my haste, they're always sloppy.

But do I need to spend $58 on that book? I don't think so... I believe I can create that particular book on my own. All I have to do is setup the organizers on my computer and then print them out really big for the posters. One on front, one on back, laminate, and hole punch the left side for binder rings. :)

(Okay, does that make me cheap or smart? Oh, I think I like the word "thrifty" better.)
