“Foldables” are basically 3 D graphic organizers. Graphic organizers are great tools to help English Language Learners (and all students) categorize content in a way to make it more accessible to them (you might also want to check-out Not “The Best,” But “A List” Of Mindmapping, Flow Chart Tools, & Graphic Organizers).

I’ve found them particularly helpful in Social Studies classes, but they’re useful in all subjects. ”One-dimensional” graphic organizers are equally useful. Foldables, though, generally provide space for more content and are also good for a change-of-pace.

Here are my choices for The Best Teacher Resources For “Foldables”:

The Catawba County Schools have a great Foldables Page that includes many examples.

Wordpop! includes templates, explanations, and includes online videos.

ELL Classroom has several blog posts describing their use of foldables with English Language Learners.

United States History has a number of examples of how foldables can be used to review…United States History.

Social Studies Foldables has a ton of templates that can be downloaded.

Here’s a simple Slideshare presentation that describes the use of foldables.

Suggestions and feedback, as always, are welcome.

I love foldables! I currently have 2 books by Dinah Zikes. They are great useful resources. I have “The Big Book of Activities” (http://tinyurl.com/m4389e) and “The Big Book of Science” (http://tinyurl.com/lhmn27). I recommend just getting the former because most of it is repeated in the science version. More manipulatives and foldables resources can be purchased at her website, (http://www.dinah.com/).
