Think back… Making a foldable to supplement instruction is a lot like some of the paper toys we used to make as kids.

The Hidden Weave Foldable Materials: 2 sheets of colored paper (usually 2 different colors) Scissors Ruler Writing utensil Time needed: 15 – 20 minutes © Susan Scott

The Hidden Weave Foldable 1.Holding a colored sheet of paper in the “landscape” position, fold it in half. Then fold the left edge in to the center and the right edge in to the center, creating 3 fold-lines. © Susan Scott

The Hidden Weave Foldable 2.Push face 1 and face 4 together, so they lay flat and face 2 and face 3 are back-to-back and standing up perpendicular to face 1 and © Susan Scott

The Hidden Weave Foldable 3.Measure equal increments on the fold between face 2 and 3. If you want 4 different writing areas, measure 2 1/8 inches for each section © Susan Scott

The Hidden Weave Foldable 4.Cut completely through faces 2 and 3 at the incremental marks you made in step 3, but stop when you reach the edge of face 1 and face 4. DO NOT cut any part of face 1 or face © Susan Scott

The Hidden Weave Foldable 5.From a different colored piece of paper, cut strips having the same length and width as faces 2 and 3. © Susan Scott

The Hidden Weave Foldable 6.Weave these colored strips in an alternating pattern into faces 2 and © Susan Scott

The Hidden Weave Foldable 7.When you push faces 2 and 3 together, and pull them apart in the middle, you have another pair of “hidden” faces inside that you may write additional notes upon © Susan Scott

Foldables How can they be utilized for ELA and SS classes? –Any topic –Vocabulary –Important Dates –Varying visual representations –Review

How was the Hidden Weave foldable lesson segmented? What visuals were used for the lesson? What analogies were made to connect learning? How did materials get distributed?
