But the sight of the stars makes me dream
Sketchnoting is a great way to take a large amount of information on a topic and to condense it to where other people can easily understand what’s being said. For this assignment, we had to take the books that we read (for me, The Defense of Thaddeus A. Ledbetter) and turn things like theme, character traits, conflict, and story arc into an easy to follow sketchnote poster. I mainly focused on the story arc of the book as well as the change in people’s opinions of Thaddeus in my sketchnotes.
In the unit, we read the book “The Defense of Thaddeus A. Ledbetter” in our separate books. During each week, we were supposed to annotate what we were reading using snapchat. You can add colors, stickers, text, whatever you want, just as long as it clearly communicates your idea! Here are some of the highlights from my booksnaps each week:
