[Want to see one of the learning activities we did to learn this? Here's the link>>> LINK]

| We are making a hallway display to share the information. Come and see it next week! |
Here are some of the strategies:
- Repeat to yourself
- Writing things down
- Chunking (memorizing in pieces)
- Drawing (even if you’re a bad artist)
- Stories (make up a story to remember the items)
- Flashcards
- Making up a jingle or song or rap
- Erasing part of what we are memorizing (or making flaps)
- Making a tape of the lecture or yourself reciting it and listening over and over again.
These strategies help you remember things on a test, things like your social security number, or something like your boss’s phone number. Study strategies like this are important!
We learned about these by watching videos, looking at suggestions on the web, and sharing what works best for us. To practice, we made up our own stories and jingles to remember things. We added information to our Handbook for Adulthood so we will have it for our future. On Friday, Jaron, Raycee and Tyrone did a "stand and deliver" and could use the "Memory Palace" strategy if they wanted.
Learning these strategies will help us in adult life because we need to remember things such as filling out an application or going to the store. Memorizing strategies can also help us remember things for exams or big tests. These don’t only work in high school. They can work in college and adult life too.
We hope you can take advantage of some of these memorizing strategies too.
