ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Graphic recording

Okay, imagine you are at school and your teacher is telling you a story. Normally you would just listen and remember it in your head, right? But now imagine that there is someone drawing pictures on a big piece of paper while your teacher is talking. They are drawing pictures of the characters, the setting, and the things that happen in the story. This is called graphic recording!

So instead of just using words to remember the story, the pictures help you to remember it better. It's kind of like a comic book version of the story. The drawings can be really simple or really detailed, depending on what the person drawing wants to do. And it's not just used for stories, it can be used for all sorts of things like speeches, presentations, and even meetings.

Sometimes people use different colors and words to help make the drawings even better. This helps everyone watching to understand what's being talked about and remember it better. So in a way, graphic recording is like a secret weapon to help people remember things better!
