This presentation is a basic introduction to visual notetaking or sketchnoting for students. During the presentation, students will watch an overview video, look at examples, and discuss the elements of sketchnoting. The presentation concludes with two practice exercises where students work on creating their first sketchnotes. Sketchnoting is a notetaking technique that students can utilize throughout the year and for different purposes in the classroom. Students can use sketchnotes to take notes on literary periods, histories of famous authors, visually represent the plot and analysis of a piece of literature or engage in listening to group presentations.

This can be used in conjunction with a ELA class when studying a classic novel. If a teacher need multiple copies of a book students could access copies via the Gutenberg site - allowing them to have access on any device they choose.
