Johanna’s presentation was a great inspirational reminder to check in with my students daily. I did practice teaching my students emotions in the language and it always makes me so proud to hear our lekwungen children using the lekwungen language.

The first time I saw sketch noting was at a conference in Hawaii, I was fascinated with how quick the person sketch noting was, I did not really understand what it was for until this lesson. I see now that sketch noting for yourself or observing someones sketch notes while listening to a public speaker can help embed the memory into your brain and also get you to really think about what the person is saying. It feeds your brain by implanting the discussion to think about later on in my opinion. I think the only con of sketch noting is tailoring it to fit the age group of children I want to work with, for myself it would be relatively easy to create sketch notes my students can visualize but to teach them to do it themselves, often when my students draw and write in their journals later on they can’t recall the story they drew or wrote about.
