What It Is
A Quick-Draw Gallery Walk allows students to share their Quick-Draws and to look for themes and similarities. It requires that students will have first completed Quick-Draws, and it requires that they be displayed around the room.
How It Works
- Ask student to label their Quick-Draws with a brief explanation as to how it represents the content that was learned.
- Place cut strips of tapes so they are dangling from a table or have several tape dispensers available so that students can grab a piece of tape to hang their Quick-Draws at eye level around the room. Alternatively, students can create their Quick-Draws on a Post-it note.
- Ask students to grab their notebooks, walk around the room (give them all the same direction, clockwise or counter-clockwise), and take notes on the content-related themes that they find in the imagery students have created.
How to Ensure Higher-Order Thinking
Ask students to find two or three new themes that they hadn’t thought of prior to viewing their peers’ Quick-Draws. Once they’ve captured a few themes, in pairs or small groups, ask them to create a sentence that encapsulates the imagery in their peers’ pictures and the content it was meant to represent.
