Research findings are cited to explain how doodling supports focus, helps learners grasp new concepts, and improves retention, including better performance on monitoring tasks and increased recall.

Unlike many dual task situations, doodling while working can be beneficial.’  \nAndrade et al (2009)  \nThere’s a reason why doodles show up in the notebooks of our most celebrated thinkers, scientists, writers, and innovators. […] A doodler is concentrating intently, sifting through information, conscious and otherwise and – more often than we realise – generating massive insights.  \nBrown (2015)  \nCapturing important ideas by hand, whether writing words or creating images, stimulates neural pathways between motor, visual, and cognitive skills. In other words, writing and drawing can make us smarter.  \nMuleller (2014)  \n‘Picture superiority effect’ means that images are better remembered than words.

In other words, writing and drawing can make us smarter. Muleller (2014)  \n1.  \n2.  \n3.  \n4.  \nListen & draw: An easy way to check listening skills is to simply ask students to listen to you or the audio and draw what they hear.  \nTip: Pick a text that isn’t too long. Pause after each sentence to give students time to think and draw.  \nSpeak, listen & draw: Students work in small groups. One student will be the speaker while the other(s) listen and draw.  \nTip: Encourage them to share their pictures in the group and ask questions. Did they draw the same thing? Why or why not?  \nRead & draw: Create a blank bingo card template for each student. Write a list of vocabulary previously studied on the board. Learners draw a picture in each square using a word chosen from the board. Once the cards have been filled in, it’s time to play bingo! Who will get a row first?  \nDraw & create: Choose a song from your course, learn the song, put students in pairs and give each pair a line from the song and ask them to draw it. Take a photo of each picture in the correct order of the song and create a video using a free-video production software.  \nxplor  \nDiscover how Doodle Town will encourage your students to use artwork and drawing to improve their memory, experience, imagination and observation.  \ne  \nE  \nStimulate self-expression  \nPersonalisation:  \nand encourage creativity and confidence with personalised activities that further develop early literacy skills.  \n8  \nPresentation:  \nInstantly engage students by helping them understand and memorise target language with a Language Presentation Song accompanied by TPR actions and photo cards.  \nStudent’s Book, Level 1, Unit 9, Lessons 1 & 2  \nLiteracy Skills Pad Level 1, Unit 1, Lessons 1 & 2  \nSocio-emotional Development:  \nWatch your students become well-rounded, confident learners with the help of sign-posted Values activities, such as singing, which aid in strengthening understanding and memory.  \nStudent’s Book, Level 1, Unit 9, Lessons 3 & 4  \nBoost creative skills and awa","cbCaikqLLXYk3mgD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikqLLXYk3mgD","pdf",1021458,"English","# Instant Guide to DOODLING IN THE CLASSROOM\n## Listen & draw\n## Speak, listen & draw\n## Read & draw\n## Draw & create\n## Development areas: literacy, socio-emotional, motor skills, presentation","[{\"question\":\"What learning benefits does the document claim doodling can provide?\",\"answer\":\"The document states that doodling helps learners stay focused, grasp new concepts, and retain information better by engaging motor, visual, and cognitive pathways.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the guide suggest checking listening skills with doodling?\",\"answer\":\"It recommends “Listen \\u0026 draw”: ask students to listen to you or an audio, then draw what they hear after short pauses following each sentence.\"},{\"question\":\"What classroom activity uses bingo cards to support vocabulary and recall?\",\"answer\":\"It suggests “Read \\u0026 draw”: students fill a blank bingo card template with pictures chosen from a vocabulary list, then play bingo to see who gets a row first.\"}]","Little Book of Doodles 2 - Instant Guide to Doodling in the Classroom | PDF"]
