Idea Floods

You know the answer is out there, but you have a lot of ideas jumping around in your head. Maybe getting them out on paper will help clear your head and lead you to victory.

March's idea flood idea is now posted at the bottom of the page!

Getting comfortable with sketchnotes drives the Idea Flood challenges. First there are some resources provided to you about using sketchnotes. Underneath the resources, you will find directions for the challenge.

Just in case you think your high school students are too old for sketchnotes...

Visual literacy in the form of sketchnotes combines both sides of the brain for better information retention. Whether you're an elementary, middle, or high school teacher, they can work for you and your content area. Don't know much about them? Take a look at some of these resources.

Idea Flood challenges will be changing monthly. Each month it can earn you up to 200 team points upon completion. In order to complete the side quest, you need to make a sketchnote that is everything luck. How have you experienced good "luck" or bad "luck" or what would you have happen if you had a life full of nothing but good luck or nothing but bad luck? (March). It's not just a regular sketchnote, though; it's an idea flood, which means you need to flood your paper with all things luck. Choose how to best turn in your idea floods by either scanning a paper and emailing it to us, scanning a paper and posting it to the Padlet, sending the paper to us at DHS or having us pick the paper up from you at your building.

Remember:

They must be completed with paper and pens/markers/pencils.
Sketchnotes are IDEAS NOT ART.
There are no real rules (step-by-step directions) to creating sketchnotes.
Try to incorporate color.
Don't overload on text and ignore the imagery.
Points earned are based on the amount of ideas represented with text and images you put into the idea flood, not the beauty.
Flood the paper with ideas for this topic!
