How We Learn

HOW CAN WE BEST REMEMBER MATERIAL?

1) Self Test: Scan through the headings and notice how the chapter/story is organized.

2) Essential Question: What is the "big picture" or the objective?

3) Read: Put things in your own words; connect it with your own experiences; background knowledge.

4) Retrieve: Practice recalling or remembering information; self test.

5) Review: Read over chapter/story and notes.

When learning new vocabulary, visualize it, draw it, connect it to your experiences and use in a sentence; self test and practice.
