Doodlers Unite (#1) in 2015! ENGL 1010

I think the idea of doodling is very interesting. I have a ton of friends who doodled in college (and prior) while listening to lectures; I too incorrectly believed it was about their not being able to focus.

I have been enlightened and wanted to share this with my students as a daily introduction, along with English grammar practice (to engage several different learning styles). If interested in this concept, check out this (Ted Talks) Video encouraging creativity, for ALL ages, times, careers, etc...! I am also using their thoughts about what they watched/ read this past week (their first class meeting) to do my survey project for my Ed.S. I'll be applying quantitative techniques to create a spreadsheet & bar graph about my findings! Last class: graduation May 9th, here I come!

So, without further adieu, these are my ENGL 1010 students' first doodles for Spring 2015!
