Question

emotions.
a 2011 article in the journal science argued that that science learners should be encouraged to draw more. the author, sharon ainsworth, explained that when teachers ask science learners to draw their understanding of a concept, the students tend to feel much more motivated and engaged in the task compared to when they are asked to write about the topic.

what important idea from the text does the illustration support?
doodling is useful to teachers who want to draw detailed diagrams.
doodling helps people show their understanding of challenging ideas.
doodling allows students to tell entertaining stories.
doodling improves drawing skills for many learners.

Explanation:

The text states that when teachers ask science learners to draw their understanding of a concept, students are more motivated and engaged. The illustration (with "Rotation" and "Revolution" drawings) and the question are about which idea the illustration supports. The option "Doodling helps people show their understanding of challenging ideas" aligns with the text's point about drawing to show understanding of a concept (like scientific concepts which can be challenging). The other options: "Doodling improves drawing skills..." is not about the main idea of using drawing for understanding; "Doodling allows students to tell entertaining stories" is off - topic; "Doodling is useful to teachers who want to draw detailed diagrams" misinterprets the role (students draw to show their understanding, not teachers draw detailed diagrams).

Answer:

The option that the illustration supports is: Doodling helps people show their understanding of challenging ideas.
