There's a lot of emphasis these days on going high-tech in the classroom but I'm curious about the low-tech options that still produce great results. What "old school" teaching strategies or activities do you employ that still produce great results?

I love a foldable! What kinds of information are you generally tracking with these?

Well this is depressing lol, but when we learn about genocide, we look at 4 case studies, and I have them make a little booklet for each of the 4 cases where each page has one of the 10 stages of genocide on it, and they keep track of various events that fall in to each stage. So... that is a depressing application haha. But you can do it with any framework really. Like in my African American history class we are dong the civil rights unit right now and we're using this framework to track what roles are played in each action https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1x0H9mLoneB1linFUInTJdJIw2bbVOLXywkxzZBMsadQ/edit?usp=sharing so you could make a booklet of that too, and have each page be one of the roles, and the kids put examples as they go.

Oh ok, I totally get what you mean. I like a little tactile project as an alternative to an essay. Your assignments remind me of an assignment I created for my AP Euro class for the "hot" wars of the Cold War.
