13 Colonies Foldable Graphic Organizers

Two versions of these organizers are provided depending on the needs of your students. In the first version, students complete charts. The second copy of the organizer may be used as an answer key, for differentiated instruction, for students who were absent during instruction, or if you wish for the students to have the sentences already completed. Instructions:

• Simply copy the first page of the organizer onto colored paper. [Both color and blackline versions are provided.]

• Copy the next page onto

white copier paper. • Trim the outer edges so the

organizer will fit into interactive notebooks.

• The first colored page should

be cut on the lines between the three flaps up to the dotted fold line, so that it will open one flap at a time.

• Students will complete the

organizer by filling in the missing information.

• Glue the top page to the bottom page in the area indicated, so the organizer will open. © Gay Miller Clipart by Educlips
