In our series "Your Students Have Talent", check out these sketchnote pages created as a cross-curricular task by pupils using our Reading Guide Matilda.

The cover of the guide: a girl with glasses sitting on a pile of books, reading.The 4e students were studying Roald Dahl's touching and humorous novel and were asked to create a sketchnote summary of the story of a highly intelligent young girl who is neglected by her parents and finds first injustice and then happiness at school.

Congratualtions Roxane, Adeline and Léna from Collège Mandel in Issy-les-Moulineaux (92) for their gorgeous sketchnotes!
