Foldables

Often, I get the response that all my "best practices" are too high tech and their school does not have or they do not have access to computers. So today's q-tip is going low tech -- Using Foldables in Your Classroom

Vocabulary Book

1. Fold a sheet of notebook paper in half like a hotdog.

2. On one side, cut every third line. This results 
 

in ten tabs on wide ruled notebook paper and

twelve tabs on college ruled.

3. Label the tabs.

4. Give each student a plastic sleeve to hold their foldables

Use this for definitions, study guides, conferencing. It is quick portable and very tactile. I use it for important definitions that they need to know, should know, often don't know. They have it with them at all times and we reference it often.

Have fun. Tomorrow more foldables using the city.
