Research comes alive when the findings are displayed graphically. This wonderful design was created by bilingual educator Alison Shofield of the Centre for Educators of BMLS. Validating and supporting bilingual learners in such an accessible and entertaining way will appeal to many students. Sketchnoting may be an effective tool for TWIN-CS students. The video below by Doug Neill of Verbal to Visual. Allowing students to reflect on their learning and depict it visually may be beneficial to those who are still acquiring content vocabulary in another language. They may know the concepts, but are still developing their fluency.
Share your students’ sketchnotes with the Roche Center! We’d love to feature them on the blog and share within the Network. We’ll all learn together!
-Mary Bridget Burns, Assistant Director for TWIN-CS
