During today's discussion, instead of taking traditional notes, create a sketchnote. Your sketchnote will be worth 10 Activity points, and it is your exit ticket from class.

For what am I looking?

• • • Thoroughness

    • Understanding of material

    • Effort

    • Potential of creativity

After this class, for any five class periods in which you complete a Sketchnote of the day's discussion, you will receive one point extra credit. In other words, you can earn up to five points of extra credit throughout the semester for completing Sketchnotes in class. Simply upload an image to the Extra Credit: Sketchnotes column (all the way to the right) on the Activities Padlet.
