Sketch Notes and Read-a-louds

Third graders are participating in the Beverly Cleary Children's Choice Awards. We have been reading one choice aloud in library. Students have been taking sketch notes to expand their thinking and predicting skills. 

Sketch notes are a form of "visual note taking." You can youtube it and see plenty of tutorials. We have been learning that if you can write letters, YOU CAN DRAW! It's all just curved and straight lines.
