ION TO FOLDABLESWhy use Foldables in Social Studies?

When teachers ask me why they should take time to use the Foldables featured in this book, I explain that they: . . . organize, display, and arrange information, making it easier for students to grasp social studies concepts, theories, facts, opinions, questions, research, and ideas. . . . are student made study guides that are compiled as students listen for main ideas, read for main ideas, or conduct research. . . . pro!ide a multitude of creati!e formats in which students can present pro"ects, research, inter!iews, and inquiry based reports. . . . replace teacher generated writing or photocopied sheets with student generated print. . . . incorporate the use of such skills as comparing and contrasting, recognizing cause and effect, and finding similarities and differences. . . . continue to #immerse$ students in pre!iously learned !ocabulary, concepts, information, generalizations, ideas, and theories, pro!iding them with a strong foundation that they can build upon with new obser!ations, concepts, and knowledge. . . . can be used by students or teachers to easily communicate data through graphs, tables, charts, models, and diagrams, including %enn diagrams. . . . allow students to make their own "ournals for recording obser!ations, research information, primary and secondary source data, sur!eys, and so on. . . . can be used as alternati!e assessment tools by teachers to e!aluate student progress or by students to e!aluate their own progress. . . . integrate language arts, the sciences, and mathematics into the study of social studies. . . . pro!ide a sense of student ownership or in!estiture in the social studies curriculum. Foldables and the NCSS Thematic Strands In Curriculum Standards for Social Studies: Expectations of Excellence, the &ational 'ouncil for the (ocial (tudies )&'((* identified +, themes that ser!e as organizing strands for the social studies curriculum at e!ery school le!el. -he themes include: I. 'ulture II. -ime, 'ontinuity, and 'hange III. .eople, .laces, and /n!ironments I%. Indi!idual 0e!elopment and Identity %. Indi!iduals, 1roups, and Institutions %I. .ower, 2uthority, and 1o!ernance %II. .roduction, 0istribution, and 'onsumption %III. (cience, -echnology, and (ociety I3. 1lobal 'onnections 3. 'i!ic Ideals and .ractices (tudents are expected to master specific skills that are organized around these themes, such as analyzing data, comparing and contrasting similarities and differences, explaining and describing concepts, and identifying cause and effect relationships. Foldables help students practice and master these specific skills. Foldables require students to identify and describe main ideas, relationships, and processes. In most cases, students need to understand and comprehend information before they can illustrate it in a foldable. Foldables help students think, analyze, and communicate. Foldable Basics What to Write and Where -each students to write general information such as titles, !ocabulary words, concepts, questions, main ideas, and dates on the front tabs of their Foldables. -his way students can easily recognize main ideas and important concepts. Foldables help students focus on and remember key points without being distracted by other print. 2sk students to write specific information such as supporting ideas, student thoughts, answers to questions, research information, class notes, obser!ations, and definitions under

the tabs. 2s you teach, demonstrate different ways in which Foldables can be used. (oon you will find that students make their own Foldables and use them independently for study guides and pro"ects. With or Without Tabs Foldables with flaps or tabs create study guides that students can use to check what they know about the general information on the front of tabs. 4se Foldables without tabs for assessment purposes or pro"ects where information is presented for others to !iew quickly. INT OD!CTION TO FOLDABLES 'opyright 5 by -he 6c1raw 7ill 'ompanies, Inc. What to Do With Scissors and Glue If it is difficult for your students to keep glue and scissors at their desks, set up a small table in the classroom and pro!ide se!eral containers of glue, numerous pairs of scissors )sometimes tied to the table*, containers of crayons and colored pencils, a stapler, clear tape, and anything else you think students might need to make their Foldables. Storing Foldables -here are se!eral ways that students can store their Foldables. -hey can use grocery bags, plastic bags, or shoeboxes. (tudents can also punch holes in their Foldables and place them in a three ring binder. (uggest they place strips of twoinch clear tape along one side and punch three holes through the taped edge. 8y keeping all of their Foldables together and organized, students will ha!e created their own portfolio. "INT# I found it more convenient to keep student portfolios in my classroom so student work was always available when needed. Giant deter ent boxes make ood stora e containers for portfolios. Use This Book as a Creative Resource 7a!e this book readily a!ailable for students to use as an idea reference for pro"ects, discussions, social studies debates, extra credit work, cooperati!e learning group presentations, and so on. /ncourage students to think of their own !ersions of Foldables to help them learn the material the best way possible.

(tudents can incorporate them into their "ournals, notes, pro"ects, and study guides independently. I found that students and teachers were more likely to use graphics if they were a!ailable on a classroom computer where they could be selected and printed out as needed. =ou can also

photocopy and distribute the pages that follow for students to trace or cut out for their pro"ects. 2ll these !isuals will aid student understanding and retention.

For example, when making a who, what, when, where Foldable, students can identify exactly where the particular e!ent occurred or where the indi!idual li!ed. +) 8ar graphs, grids, and circle graphs can be used to show changes o!er time, population distribution, and so on. ,) 4se time lines to record when someone li!ed or when an e!ent or sequence of e!ents occurred. 4se two time lines to compare what was happening in two different areas at the same time. -) 4se small picture frames to sketch or name a person, place, or thing.
