What does this mean for learning and memorising? • There are different ways to learn • We naturally prefer different ways because certain ways work best for us • We need to try out different strategies and see which one works best • We can, over time, develop our skills to be able to use a variety of strategies

  9. 3 methods to try!

  10. Plenary • What was your method? • How well did it work for you? • How do you know? • What type of learning style does this method involve? • What do you think would make your learning more successful next time?
