WHAT YOU SAY

 MEMORY TECHNIQUES

"Memory is not understanding - but it is an essential prerequisite to understanding."  This session is intended to equip teachers (and classroom assistants) with an array of teaching techniques and classroom strategies that will ensure pupils are able to remember the essentials that form the basis of understanding.

• How the brain remembers.

• The importance of "key-words"

• Making mnemonics memorable

• Body pegs

• One-bun

• Memory journeys

• Stories, songs and raps

• Sticky notes (based on the Roman room technique)

• Thinking maps

"The brain cannot remember everything ... uninteresting, boring or emotionally flat lessons simply will not be remembered."
