Foldables



I recently attended a workshop on foldables. I thought, "My kids are not going to like folding paper, that's below their level". I could not have been more wrong. I have integrated foldables into my some of my lessons; and to my surprise, the students really enjoyed them.
There are types of foldables that you can do are practically limitless. They can make flip-books for vocabulary words, diaramas for comparing and contrasting, folding graphic organizers which can be used for multiple objectives.
I will soon be posting more on the uses of foldables, and shows some diagrams on how they are made. I'm currently working on the graphics that I plan to post.

Tell me some of your ideas, and how you have used foldables in your classrooms.
