Engaging Foldables for Active Learning

Foldables are 3-D graphic organizers that allow students to organize information visually and kinesthetically. Students fold, cut, write, and draw on paper to break down complex information into easier to understand parts. Research shows that using foldables improves comprehension, vocabulary, and student achievement compared to traditional worksheets. Foldables engage students through hands-on learning and help them better understand, organize, and retain information.
