Sketchnotes Reading Comprehension

As I begin introducing students to the vocabulary relating to our weekly story, students will use ipads to sketchnotes of what they think the meaning of the vocabulary word is. They will then share their drawing with a partner and discuss if the meanings are correct. We will then discuss as a class. We will do this for each vocabulary word.

Students will then use the ipad to use sketchnotes during our story to help with comprehension. Students will draw pictures of what they think of while listening to the story. By sketching notes this helps students comprehend and remember the main details in a story.

Once we have completed the story, student do a gallery walk to observe other students drawings. They also have the opportunity to leave positive notes about each other's work.

At the end of the lesson students will create a flipgrid video on the ipad to retell the main idea and details of the weeks story.

Students will be able to easily share their sketchnotes and videos with me via their google drive.
