Sketchnoting builds a connection between verbal and visual components. It is a personal form of note-taking that activates the brain in the process much the same as doodling. Doodling is a way of thinking, of drawing information around a thought process.

Actual Text:
“Albert, is it true that if you touch a butterfly’s wings, you keep it from flying ever again? Basically, kill it?”
“No, it is a myth that you render a butterfly unable to fly by touching its wings. The powdery residue on their wings is actually scales. They shed their scales on a regular basis, so merely touching them is okay.
“Albert, is it true that if I felt a butterfly’s wings, I keep it trapped, never flying ever again? Basically, kill it?”
“Negative, it is a myth that a human will halt its flight by feeling its wings. The light residue that lays with their wings is actually scales. They shed their scales regularly, merely patting them is fine.
