How does it work?

Completing the Elements of Nonfiction Doodle Vocabulary is simple and meaningful!

1. Students fill in the definitions for each of the words (either with guided notes or by writing the entire definition).
2. Sometimes students will showcase their understanding of the word with doodles.
3. Other times, students will demonstrate their learning by responding to sample passages and even labeling an article with nonfiction text features.

Why doodle?

• When students doodle or create sketches of something, they’re activating different parts of their brains.
• This helps students to make connections.
• Simple sketches or doodles are also powerful mnemonic devices, so students will also be able to remember the words and their meanings longer.
• Plus…doodling in class makes learning instantly more fun and engaging!
