Helpful Information 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 on a set of guided
practice problems or 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 its 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 6 and SLIDE 7)
