Foldables

Hi All:

I don't think this constitutes as a highly innovative or technological tool, but I recently introduced foldables into my Reading Response. There are several types and they are super easy to teach/use. Students can create their own usage for how they want to respond to literature. If the section they read about had 3 main problems or 4 characters who had varying experiences, then the student could choose an appropriate foldable (3 or 4 flap or other choices too) to respond to that particular section (with page # and paragraph #).

There were a few hesitant participants however. I think they had gotten comfortable with our "Role Sheets" as a method of response. So, of course a few students had to be prodded and FORCED to try something new. If you'd like me to show you a couple of these at our next class I'd be happy to.

Happy Wednesday!
