You may have seen this on my blog, The ESOL Odyssey, or on pinterest. I had so many people writing and requesting directions, that I created this packet with instructions.
This freebie is designed to help your students review non-fiction text features with an authentic, grade-level, non-fiction text.
Originally designed for my 4th grade ESOL students, I have used this successfully in both ESOL and mainstream classes in grades 4-8.

Laurah, thanks for the freebie and the photos that clearly show what the finished product looks like. I'm currently teaching nonfiction to my 4th graders, so the timing is perfect! (Saw your link on the sellers' forum about relationship of downloads to feedback and had to check it out!)
Thanks again,
Cathy

Thank you, Laurah for sharing this awesome resource! It's perfect for my class as we are just beginning a study of nonfiction text features. It includes everything I need for my second graders. I love lapbooks and this will save me so much time! What a great idea!
thanks again!

This looks great. I'm going to use it next year in social studies, geography to be exact. Thanks.

I teach ESL and it is very important that my older students have visuals, as well as the younger students. I love foldables and have purchased the foldable "how-to" books from Dinah Zike's website (Dinah.com). Thanks for sharing your creative ideas with non-fiction and your generosity. :)

Suezette Given (TpT Seller)
I have not done a "foldable" and was hoping for specific directions on how to make the project...would you have a more detailed step by step set of directions?

Tools for Teachers by Laurah J (TpT Seller)
Suzette, the foldables are pretty easy, and all the foldables in this activity are pretty much made from one basic foldable. First, grab a sheet of paper and fold in in half lengthwise (like a hot dog). Then, fold your hot dog in half, and then in half again. Open it back out to your hot dog. Use a pair of scissors to cut the flaps on one side by cutting along the folds from the outside edge to the center fold. You will have four flaps now. From there, the rest of the directions are in the packet. I hope this helps. You can also search for Dinah Zike, as she has put out some very detailed explanations on how to create a variety of foldables.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
Before coming to Maryland, where I currently teach grades K-5, focusing mostly on 2nd and 4th, I was in North Carolina teaching ESL Language Arts primarily to grades 6-8. While working on my MS in ESL Education at the University of Tennessee, I did student teaching with grades K-8 in Sevierville, TN. I have also been invited to Busan, S. Korea, twice to conduct 2 week teacher training seminars on Content Based English Instruction for English language learners, and I am SIOP trained as well. In addition to my MS, I also have a degree in Spanish and Mass Communications.
