9. Memory techniques

10. Memory techniques: 1Chunking • Break your work down into sentence ‘chunks’ • Take one paragraph and count the number of sentences • Draw that number of boxes onto a page • Write each sentence into a box from left to right • Look at the first sentence in your notes and read it out loud. Then, close your eyes and say (‘seeing the words in your mind’) or ‘air write’ the sentence without looking at it • Repeat the step above, this time with the first 2 sentences • Next, try it with 3 sentences. Then 4. Repeat until you have (mostly)memorized the first paragraph

11. After a study session, take a quick nap or relax. New memories are very vulnerable, but studies have shown that sleep helps your new memories stick. After your nap, repeat the memory technique once more for maximum retention. Ok, you can't sleep now (no, seriously!!) but talk about something else for 3 minutes (yes, have a chat!) then we will do stage 2. Try to do your Spanish learning work an hour before bed time - spend half an hour on it, half an hour getting ready for bed and then sleep.

12. Now turn over and draw the boxes again • This time put the first letter of each word only, followed by a line. E.g. m__ g________ l__ c_________ • When you have finished, try to complete the text without looking at your notes. Now take a 3 minute break • Now turn over and draw the boxes again • This time put a picture in each box instead of any words • Try to use colourful, humorous images to link to the idea of the sentence • When you have finished, try to complete the text without looking at your notes.

13. " Active learning is the key to remembering. You have to DO something to keep the words in your head.”
