The following are templates that are free on the Print Cut Fold website but I do not discuss these in the session/workshop. Think of ways you could integrate these into your classroom.

Fan Deck Template

Students use the auto-shape feature to create fan blades. On each blade, the student enters a title and text pertaining to that title. The fan blades are then assembled with a brass brad. As students learn new concepts they can keep adding more blades to the fan deck.  Curriculum Examples: Vocabulary, Multiple Concepts, Reviewing Vocabulary, Sequencing, Parts of Speech, All About Me

Stretch Book Template

Students create a PowerPoint on a given topic- each sub-topic on its own slide. The slides are printed out 6 slides per page and are then strung together and folded like an accordion for display. For variation, try printing 2 per page for a larger book. Cut out into strips and fold back and forth the slides and adhere them together with tape. Curriculum Examples: Another great way of displaying student PowerPoint projects or assembling into a class display, stories, All About Me Book, Cultural Information,grammar notes, etc.
