06: Reading

Project: Doodle as you read for comprehension. Choose from 2 of the 3 choices listed below:

1. Read an article.
2. Reread a chapter of your summer reading selection.
3. Step into student shoes. Be a listener during a read aloud by doodling to an audio book.

While reading:

• Practice the technique of visually thinking about what you are reading.
• Sketch in the margins, on Post-it Notes, or in your sketch-note notebook.
• Be sure to document what you read to share with others.

It takes practice.

• Share your doodles with someone and ask for feedback.
• Scan or take a photo of your work and insert it in your Doodling the C's Google doc.
