Some useful tips about Foldables
•
Once the foldable is done you must have the students USE it on a follow-up activity such as a short quiz, BINGO game, or set of guided practice problems or the students will NEVER
•
use it.
For grading purposes have students paper punch foldables to keep in their binder, put in their portfolio, or to hand in for
•
a note-check.
When making foldables it’s best to hand students just 2 or 3 different colored markers to make color changes to emphasize
•
words or concepts but not so many that they get distracted.
Always have at least one or two foldables cut out and ready
•
for students who make mistakes.
If a student is absent the day of the foldable then just print out the relevant Powerpoint slides for them to include in their notebook. (SLIDE 7 & 8)
