Drawing is very important especially at very young ages, but I must confess I'm not very good at it. However this video is very clear and it gives us really simple tips and ideas on how to do it more effectively. And it really worked with me, while I was watching it, I was also drawing and taking notes! Thanks a lot!

Drawing is something all teachers should learn how to do, especially (but not only) if they teach young learners. Can I recommend Andrew Wright's 1000+ Pictures for Teachers to Copy? Apart from the wonderful pictures, he makes an important point: we don't actually need to be able to draw -- all we need to do is learn how to copy basic shapes. It's not really drawing at all, just "adequate representation" that we need to aim for.
