About “Doodle” Notes:
First, students will learn all about each reading skill by completing a set of doodle notes. Doodle notes are color-it-in, fill-it-in, and doodle-encouraging note sheets. They’re not only visually engaging, they’re also effective in helping students increase their focus and ability to recall information. Plus…they’re really fun! In each mini-unit, there are 2 options of Doodle Notes:
- Option 1: All the notes are filled in. With this option students will color, embellish, and add doodles to the notes as you review the information with the class.
- Option 2: Some of the notes are filled in and students need to fill in the remainder of the notes (like guided notes). Students will work to fill in the notes as you teach the content.
