Habilidades para tomar notas: ¡Campamento de verano de garabatos visuales para el cerebro!

📒Unlock the power of visual note-taking in this engaging online class! Students will learn a step-by-step approach to creating notes with simple sketches, doodles, and pictures—turning complex topics into easy-to-remember visuals. This creative method simplifies the learning process, helping students build a strong study skills toolbox they can use through middle and high school. No drawing experience is required for this class.  
☆Class is especially helpful for Dyslexic, Dysgraphic, and Neurodivergent learners!

📋 Staying organized while taking notes is just as important as note-taking itself.  This skill is often overlooked in those "middle school" years.  Practicing this method of "Note-Taking" can guide a student who prefers "pictures" over words. Visual note-taking provides the foundation for building one's memory of new material. 
 
👉We will begin by talking about how to organize our thoughts and ideas. Students will brainstorm with guidance and understand the significance of taking notes and our various learning preferences.  All topic areas below will be overlapping concepts learned to assist learners in implementing this note-taking method.

🟡Day 1: What are Brain Doodles?
In our initial session, we'll delve into the components of a Brain Doodle and explore how to seamlessly integrate it into all aspects of learning. We will incorporate a few fun exercises to allow learners to understand the "why" behind creating a "Brain Doodle" while learning something new.

🟢Day 2: 1st Steps to Creating Brain Doodles!
We will uncover how to create a title, text, and topography.  This class breaks down the basic components and learners will begin to create their "Brain Doodle" in class.  We will wrap-up by talking about how to create a visual and fun "table chart" to assist with sparking new ideas.

🟣Day 3: Brain Doodle Practice Time Session
Learners will experience and see what various "Brain Doodles" may look like for various subjects/topics. I will guide them in creating a portion of their "Brain Doodle" topic they select.  This subject/topic will vary upon learners interest.  A few sample topics students have created are below: cells, sand art, baking a cake, cooking a steak, rock abrasion, simple machines, Minecraft, 3 types of rocks, pollination of plants…

🔵Day 4: Brain Doodle Wrap-up & Final Practice Session
In this final class, learners will create another "Brain Doodle" from start to finish with guidance and sharing of ideas. Students may share their ideas and collaborate on topics. I will continue to guide and assist each learner through the process as they develop the foundation skills to carry on after class. Brain Doodles show learners how to develop the visualization of topics and grow their confidence in using this note taking skill, from elementary through college levels and beyond!
