This weeks when learning about sketch-noting, the idea resonated with me. As a visual learner myself, I found that this would be very helpful for me to begin as a practice of my own.
Above I have taken a photo of how I used sketch-notes in one of my classes. In my Applied Theatre course we were learning about Paulo Friere and the importance of active learning. Traditionally we have a passive way of education. Friere’s idea is that when you can become active in a learning process, you are likely to grasp more information. I found it ironic that this is what I was studying in my Theatre course as I feel as though it translated well to this class.
The idea that we should be learning more actively rather than passively can support many learners as everyone learns at their own pace. What I found to be interesting in the sketch-notes was how I was then able to remember this concept and apply it to one of my other classes!

Hey Sydney! That’s a very interesting connection you made between this class and your class in a different faculty. I appreciate how you’ve written your notes – they seem very organized and have good context. Have you ever found yourself doodling in class? I feel like in a theatre context it could be very common to draw/layout certain blocking or interaction techniques. Do you find that there is a sequence in theatre you need to follow – for example you have to do one thing before you can do another thing when acting in, or writing, a scene?
