Sketch notes are creative, hands-on, auditory, personal, and brain-friendly fun! If you love interactive notebooks you’ll love this differentiation strategy! Get this activity as a PDF download for printing, GOOGLE drive version, or upload the PDF to your favorite note-taking app like Notability or Microsoft One Note -all really versatile for a tech-infused lesson.
I really love how a concept can be mapped out with visuals like with interactive notebooks but without the cutting. Sketch notes help my students’ creativity, memory and recalling skills -visual notes, pictures, symbols, sequence, color, and frames, and fonts.
Sketch notes are an inspiring and logical way to engage in visual learning, writing, and student-centered instruction. Sketch notes can be used for:
★Writing
★Note taking
★Auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learners
★Encourages creativity
★Organizing thoughts
★Studying and memorization
★Gaining insight on complex subjects
★Jogging your creativity
★Visually appealing presentation of information
★Allows students to discover their own style
★In this resource – the sketch notes are both on paper and digital
