"Part-lesson, part-games-show, part-astonishing!"� This fast-moving, interactive session will keep participants on their toes as they learn, practice and demonstrate a variety of memory techniques.� At the end of the day, pupils (and their teachers!) are invariably astounded by their capacity to learn and recall remarkable amounts of information.� John�s sessions on memory skills are fast being recognised as a means of building pupils� confidence and self-esteem.

• How the brain remembers.

• The importance of "key-words"

Students have especially appreciated this session in the past when there have been rewards or prizes available.� These could be team-points, vouchers, books, pens, etc.� You might consider whether� this is something you would like to include in the day.

�

NOTE.� Although some schools have used this session as a last-minute revision-skills session immediately prior to examinations, it is much more effective if delivered at the beginning of a course - so that students can use the techniques throughout the course.� It is also more effective if staff are aware of the techniques (in particular the importance of "key-words") so that they can guide students in their usage.
