Teaching Grammar With Foldables

July 7, 2014 in Pedagogy

I have fallen in love. There is nothing better in the world than a highly functional foldable (except chocolate).

The grammar foldables demonstrated by Suzanne of The Curly Classroom captured my imagination, and now, just a few hours later, I have my own model (pictured above). It was easy to make, and I think my students will love it.

Once students have completed their foldables, they'll glue them into the interactive notebooks we'll be keeping next year.

For instructions on how to setup your grammar folder, read Suzanne's grammar foldable post. You can read about her interactive notebooks here and here.
