Sketchnoting

This task was created by Zeina Chalich from aussieed.com

Sketchnoting builds a connection between verbal and visual components. It is a personal form of note-taking that activates the brain in the process much the same as doodling. Doodling is a way of thinking, of drawing information around a thought process.

TASK
Make visual notes (sketchnotes) about the main events from a chapter in the book. Take photos and upload your notes to the blog or use any available apps to make your visual notes. Label which chapter you are sketching about.

Consider.. Who? What? When? Where? How? Why?

What visual representations will best describe…

* The sequence of events?

* The emotions of the characters?

* The impact of what happened?

* The text you will use?

TOOLS
Paper & pencil or black felt tip pen

“Albert, is it true that if you touch a butterfly’s wings, you keep it from flying ever again? Basically, kill it?”

No, it is a myth that you render a butterfly unable to fly by touching its wings. The powdery residue on their wings is actually scales. They shed their scales on a regular basis, so merely touching them is okay.

“Albert, is it true that if I felt a butterfly’s wings, I keep it trapped, never flying ever again? Basically, kill it?”
“Negative, it is a myth that a human will halt its flight by feeling its wings. The light residue that lays with their wings is actually scales. They shed their scales regularly, merely patting them is fine.
