How it's used?
Every unit has those few key terms that are so important to understanding the entire unit. As you can see in the picture above I place the key term in the center diamond (which will be created with the fold). Then in each of the four squares around the diamond important information is filled in centered around ONLY that term. Maybe you are teaching the story of Prophet Yunus AS. His name could be that key term placed in the center and in the four squares important events, details, a picture, or lessons learned can be in the four squares. It can be used in Arabic or Quran too. Put a word or letter in the center and come up with details for the students to fill in around the word or letter.
How to make it?
It's so easy! Take a sheet of any type of paper. Fold it down the middle (hamburger or hotdog). Then with your paper still folded, fold it down the middle the opposite direction. You should end up with a square that when you open it you have four squares. Now with it still folded into the square you have four corners of that square. Find the corner where the center fold is (the side that cannot be opened or the center of the page). At this corner fold it over facing the center of the square to create a small triangle (this creates the diamond in the center). Now open it all up and you should end up with a diamond in the center and four squares all around it. (stay tuned for a video demonstration). On the board I draw the paper and place things I want the students to fill in (I use it as an assessment). To store it students fold it back up into a square add glue to one side and glue it in their journals. When they need it they just open it up and have all the information needed. It can also be used for note taking. Enjoy!
