Improving the study method with visual facilitation in middle school
Drawing is one of the forms of expression and communication that is closest to us. It is part of our evolution: the graffiti of the Stone Age is a vivid testimony of this still today. The need to express has always involved everyone, but creativity must be trained, as if it were a muscle.
The book
Sketchnotes in the classroom is a complete manual designed to accompany teachers in the discovery of visual learning and sketchnotes. It helps to regain possession of a visual language that combines words and images, amplifying its maximum communicative capacity. By following the ideas and projects proposed, teachers will be able to make the explanations more engaging, capture the students’ curiosity, transmit a study method and give concrete support to reviewing at home.
The structure of the book
The volume is divided into 6 sections:
Visual facilitation, in which the usefulness, advantages and different types of this kind of communication are explained.
What is the sketchnote, an insight into the origin, the scientific and pedagogical bases and a first invitation to use it on everyday occasions.
The benefits of sketchnotes, for teachers and students.
Sketchnotes in practice, a complete course on how to make a sketchnote, step by step, and how to use it in different school subjects.
Opportunities to get started, to prepare a lesson, help with revision, organize a test or homework.
The testimonies of adults and children using sketchnotes.
