Look at the picture and discuss the following:

1- What can you see?

2- What words might come to your mind when you see this picture?

Now, do you think the picture helped you to remember some words ?

This is called: Association

Activity 1

Let’s see how association works with your memory:

• Divide the class into 4 groups.• Ask each group to choose a number

from 1-4• In groups, choose a leader and a time

keeper.• Start recalling and remembering the

words of the things you can see in the picture( at least 5 words).

We connect words with relevant pictures to remember them easily.

(Association through Visualization)

Activity 2 Let’s learn more memory techniques

We organize all the words we learn under their categories so we can remember them in groups or in parts. (Association through Categorization)

Association Technique (2)

Now lets have some fun: (cut-outs)

• Divide the class into two teams. One for “the whole group” ss and another for “the parts.”

• Choose 4 students to be the whole group students while the rest of ss are the parts.

• Each “part” student picks 1 or 2 words from the shuffled cards.

• Now, find the whole of which you are part. Meet the other parts and make a group.

Activity 4

Remembering

This Is the first level of thinking in Bloom’s

Revised Taxonomy where the learner is able

to recall, restate and remember learned

information. 

Why are we studying remembering in self-

learning?

• It improves our thinking.

• It is one of the self-learning tools (Individual Study Technique)

LET’S SEE HOW WELL YOU REMEMBER TODAY’S LESSON…

1)What are the six thinking levels in Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy that were mentioned at the beginning of this lesson?

2)What is the name of the thinking level you learned today?

3)What MEMORY TECHNIQUES will help you remember the new words you learn in each lesson?

4)what is the SL tool used in this lesson ?

Association

Visualization

When we learn words, we

need to connect them

to pictures to remember them easily.

Categorization

We organize all the words we learn under their

categories to remember them better.

Summary:

- Choose 2 different words from the following list and write about how you can remember them by using the memory enhancement technique you studied today:
