Response 1 – Sanchez
Note Taking:
The ability to transfer information from the brain to paper is essential for the success of many students. Ormrod (2016) stated that documenting information whether it be typed or written, individuals are able to encode it verbally and visually. A struggling student needs to be able to visualize what they are learning because a majority of individuals are visual and kinesthetic learners. In a sense, the act of note taking serves as an external hard drive for information. (Ormrod, 2016)
Response 2 – Evans
Mnemonics
“Memory Tricks”
Mnemonics is one of my favorite learning strategies as it effectively puts creativity and knowledge to the test. A highly recommended method is the Pegword mnemonics which aids the visual learner in recall. For the struggling student, I would suggest the student choose a visual term that reminds him or her of Washington. For example, shingles, wash, or ton, remind me of Washington, and it directs my line of thought as his army didn’t have fresh equipment nor a ton of soldiers.
