Phase II Part IV Quesitons 1 and 3

1. Provide 5 different ways to use memory to create an effective learning strategy.
-Use rhyme or song (acoustic encoding)
-Make it connect emotionally through real world examples people can personally relate to
-Play a game to peak interest/anecdotal stories
-Postive reinforcement (candy, extra credit for right answers/going over and above)
-Overlearning (repetition-repeat important or difficult concepts)
-Use spacing effect: don't just repeat information 2x in a row. Instead, say it one day, then another day, or repeat that question on different worksheets
-Use powerpoints instead of just talking (visual encoding)
-Ask conceptual questions that don't just require remembering what the teacher said
-Chunking (organize notes into meaninful sections, outline format)
