Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few years ago, I used to get got my students brand pockets for their notebooks using the actual notebook pages.  This worked great, only I can't convey myself to waste materials a precious notebook page to brand a steal anymore!

Usually, I write a championship on the steal to push clitoris the contents.  I did championship this ane "Measures of Central Tendency" later I took the photo!  

Begin alongside a sail of colored paper. 

Fold the newspaper inward half, "hamburger style."

Unfold the newspaper to divulge the crease.

Cut along the crease.  Each steal solely requires ane sail of paper.  Whenever nosotros brand pockets, I volition get got kids span upward as well as portion a sail of paper.  They e'er larn into the cutest debates over what color of newspaper to utilization for their pockets!

Fold the left border 1-2 inches over to the right.

Find the papers that volition hold upward held inward your pocket.  We volition desire to utilization them to brand certain nosotros larn our steal sized properly.  Often, kids volition skip this pace at the kickoff of the year.  They won't realize that they get got made their steal ridiculously modest until they become to seat inward their papers!

Slide the papers into the partial pocket.

Fold the correct border over.  Make certain y'all exit some wiggle room!

Now, we've made all of our creases.  We're almost done!
