Sketchnotes

PictureThis is a work sample from a student in my class.
As visual learners, we are big fans of sketchnotes as a way of processing information. For those of your that haven't encountered sketchnotes, it's a form of visual notetaking, or "purposeful doodles," students synthesize learning using text, images, shapes, colors, and connectors. 
​
We created an organizer that explains the concept to kids with simple directions. Use this activity after having kids read, watch a film clip, or even explore a website. It's versatile. As with any notetaking strategy, it probably won't be for everyone. Try to introduce students to lots of different
​ note-taking methods so that they can ultimately choose what works best for them.
