The Cat's Diary
Day 983 of My Captivity
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.
The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt todisgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am.
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously brain damaged. The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now ...

The concept, in its most basic form, is self-quizzing. The way most people study is they go over a list of topics, and run through them once or twice. Maybe you
make flashcards. And as soon as you've gotten them right at least once, you figure out know them and move on.
But that's not knowledge. That's the illusion of mastery.
So how do you know if you really know something? By simulating testing conditions and forcing yourself to work harder to pull the information from
memory. Practically, that means closing the book or the laptop and going back through the concept and asking yourself questions to test understanding
instead of basic recall.

YOUR STUDENTS WILL ASK TO WATCH AND ANALYZE VIDEOS OVER AND OVER
Note: This is “close watching” as opposed to “close reading” - but the skills gained are the same
THIS WILL HAPPEN
Kids will see Irony, Paradox, Poetic Justice,
Foreshadowing and more in REAL LIFE
NOT just books.
