Visualize Notetaking
EDUCATIONFEATURED
Before starting to add sketches to your notes it is important to visualize the whole thing and arrive at sections of notes and identify areas where sketches can be added.
Phase 3: Visualize
Identify sections that may work better in visual mode
Go over your notes and the layout and identify sections that would work better as a visual element rather than text. In this case, the highlighted text shows the states that Adivasis resided in. In the text format, this would be a long list of names I would have to memorize. However, when I visualize this in a map, I can easily see that the states are grouped in the middle belt of India and this will be easier for me to recall even if I don't remember the list of states.
One thing to note here is that not every element needs to be visualized. There may be some sections that work better in text mode than a visual (for eg. a quote). Depending on the text you are sketchnoting, you may lean towards more visual notes or more text heavy notes.
