Just want to warn you guys that we did the Civil war over a school year so the lapbooks are large. Don't be overwhelmed but I hope you will get some ideas from it.
Here is the first one. It was done by my middle child, who was 9-10 years old at the time. His favorite person in the Civil War was Ulysses S. Grant (only because he won! This is my comptetitive child!)
Here is the cover.
You see here when you open it, these are mini-books about each battle in the CW. It has questions like what, when, where, who were the commanders for the N/S, Casualties of the N/S, and who won (victory).
The boys did two of these folds. I printed off thumbnails of 4 Generals of their choice on Sticker paper. On the inside, they had to write about each one. They have one in blue for the union and gray for the confederacy.
Below are two are accordian folded books on Salvery Life and the Surrender.
Below you see three layer books. The one to the left in Blue is the Union Statistics. The one in the middle is the Civil War Vocabulary. The one to the right, in gray, is the Confederacy Statistics.
Below is a closeup of the Civil War Vocabulary, done in a layered book.
Below is the other one. It was done by our oldest who was 10-11 at the time. His favorite person is Stonewall Jackson.
Below is his battle minibooks.
Below is a wheel, with drawings of different Confederate Generals.
Below is to the left, Civil war vocab in a layered book, in the middle a circle template he made to look like whip and he wrote about slavery and to the right, his Civil War Battles Map.
Below is his Civil War Battles Map, opened.
Confederate Generals, thumbnails using sticker paper.
Opened Confederate generals with writing. I used a journaling template for the lines.

These are two mini accordian books that he did on the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the Surrender. Again, I printed off photos for the Surrender (like a copy of the letter) on sticker paper as one of the pages!)
Below is a close up of his Union Generals. This is the same as the confederates.
