Article Structure Foldable

Greetings,

A recent lesson dealt with the traditional "inverted pyramid" journalistic writing style.  We did a foldable in class as a way to graphically organize the critical information from this lesson.

Here is an example foldable I did for the class.





We also referenced http://youtu.be/F0XCHmVIQvs regarding basic foldable instructuctions.
