This foldable is a pock with slips of paper. To make the slips of paper have students cut the margin off with the holes. Then fold the paper in half vertical or height wise. (We call this a hot dog fold because it resembles a hot dog bun.) Then fold that in half vertical. (We call this a hamburger fold because it resembles a hamburger bun.) And then one more hamburger fold. Have the students shave their fold- see lawmaking process foldable to for shaving the fold.
For the pocket have students fold a piece of paper like you would fold a paper to put in an envelope. Then do a hamburger fold (resembles a hamburger). Have the kids shave the fold. There will be six of these papers so students can share.
On the pocket part have students write "Governor Bob McDonnell". When students glue into their lapbook remind them that they are to only put glue on the sides and bottom. If they glue the top the slips of paper will not go in. :-) You may want to have some extra's handy because a few will glue it wrong.
For each slip of paper, students will be copying the titles from the Essential Knowledge. The explanations are mine. Again, if you like them keep them. If not, change them as you see fit.
Chief Legislator: Proposes state Legislation in State of Commonwealth speech. (I also take this time to ask the students what speech the President uses when he proposes legislation.)
Chief of State: ceremonial leader of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Commander-in-Chief: head of Virginia's National Guard
Chief Administrator: makes sure all state agencies run effectively (Virginia has a Department of Administration. This department runs 5 different agencies: elections, human resources for the state, general services, minority services and compensation. To read more about this department click here.)
Party Chief: top member of his political party
