Children will draw from lessons that have a focus on geography, people, scenery, objects, animals nature and much more.
When information is drawn it will be remembered forever.
Benefits

Summary
As students read and talk about various cultures and history, they are motivated to draw objects, and people from other countries. During this activity they also take in information that they will connect with the drawing. When a person draws what they are learning about they will learn it 8 times faster and retain it 8 times longer.
