Sketching for People who Hate Sketching

Title 1 Resource Teacher
We know sketching is a key ingredient for making GLAD® charts meaningful and comprehensible. As adults, however, we are often scared of making visuals in front of others. There is great news for all the reluctant drawers out there - if you can write the letters of the alphabet, you’ve already got some basic sketching skills! Come learn from a reformed non-sketcher how you can use your alphabet writing skills to grow your sketching skills and build your confidence in creating quick visuals in front of others. This is an interactive session with hands-on activities and opportunities to practice sketching. Come ready to write and draw in a safe environment and have some fun along the way!
