That's the key phrase - "when we draw, we remember more" - what an excellent presentation - thank you so much

I had a chapter about a mountaineer who had climbed Everest. Her story was so boring and difficult, everyone hated that chapter. I decided to draw the whole story. You know what....I remembered it so easily that I didn't forget it till the final examinations!!!

Does anyone else love the sound of the marker on the paper? Its so soothing.

Everyone draws as a child. Artists are just people that never stopped drawing.

I actually made a random doodle YEARS ago and made a small story out of it, years later, I remembered exactly how the story went, and drew it again. I found the piece of paper with the original doodle, and sure enough, the story was almost exact.

How many noticed that he drew rather simply and child-like when he wanted the people to draw 😄Gem of a teacher he is !

[stoicfloor]

The more mental processing there us during learning, the better the memory. The act of drawing, which involves processing meaning in an visual way, can increase the mental processing and therefore better memory. Great idea! Thank you!

[nasromar]

I have been struggling to learn Arabic for the past 10+ years and recently I started drying images on my vocabulary cards in order to teach English and I also wrote the Arabic translation of the English words and guess what. I remembered Arabic vocabulary the next day and the day after and a week after and now I can use it in a real conversation as well. Now I tell all of my English students to draw images in order to remember words and they also remember. Now my students love me and praise me for teaching them English that have been trying to learn for decades here in panama but can't seems to learn it.

I don't have words to thank this great elderly personality with such a great presentation.

I just loved the way he concluded. That thing literally won my heart.... Some teachers own a special place in our hearts(True for this man).

[sejalarora]

I don't want him to finish - his is a calm and pleasing personality!

Him: let's start with a circle
Me: * sweats nervously *

I remember using this technique to help my grade school daughter memorize a story line to be recited in front of her class. We convert the sentences to pictures we draw and it make easy for her to remember the story line.
