This week, our class focused on using sketchnotes in our visual journals. Sketchnotes combine simple drawings, symbols, and keywords to capture important ideas in a creative and memorable way. They help students listen carefully, make connections, and organize their thinking while also boosting recall.
We practiced sketchnoting during our whole-class read-aloud of A Wolf Called Wander. Students used images and words together to highlight what stood out to them in the story, helping them understand the events more deeply and remember key details in a fun and personal way.
I can examine elements of fictional texts, including main plots, characters, and points of view.
The work examples below are from students who wanted their work included on the blog.
