    Brain Rule 4: People don't pay attention to boring things. This website of classroom games and activities does a great job of outlining some great ways to hold the attention of a class. Students, especially young students, do not have the attention span to have tons of information lectured at them for hours. Therefore, it's important to break up the monotony with some fun classroom activities-- trick them into learning, so to speak.

      Most of the events that predict whether something learned will also be remembered occur in the first few seconds of learning. The more elaborately we encode a memory during its initial moments, the stronger it will be.

  • Learners who used a repetition tactic remembered 50% more content after one week (7 days) than did those learners who did not recite.
  • This is a practice activity. Use it with students who are familiar with the lesson content. Students recall facts, labels, lists, rules, or procedures by stating the correct question that corresponds to the answer provided by the narrator while participating in a game to make the lesson more interesting. This activity should be used after the students are familiar with the lesson content.

      Brain Rule #4: People don't pay attention to boring things! If you want your class to remember to repeat, and repeat to remember, play a game with them! Do something to hold their attention.

      This goes along with the idea of CH 6-- We must remember to repeat! The fact that we know repetition is a good learning tool is useless if we don't actually remember to do it. Having a repetition tactic helps out with that goal.

  • Repetition involves repeating the information to be recalled. Repetition can be done verbally, in writing, or mentally. It has been documented that the most effective method of Repetition is verbal repetition because it involves both auditory and vocal senses.

    Ch 5 of Brain Rules says you must repeat to remember. This site promotes that, even giving examples of class activities that involve repetition

      We see here that the use of technology is vital to teacher student bond.
  • and for the bright and well motivated. Expecting students to perform well becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. WebCT Tip: Provide students examples of "A"-quality work. Release statistics along with grades, so that students can see how they are performing as compared to the rest of the class (stats can give the mean grade and/or the frequencies). Use the "Selective Release" feature to release course info only as students achieve a certain level of success on a test.

      I find that teacher modeling is one of the most important parts of teaching English.  As a 6th grade teacher, you have to teach students how to think about things so that they will be more effective and critical thinkers in the future.

      This is very important, as we have learned through our articles.  Technology allows our students to look at things in different ways and learn in a way that is best for them.
