How many vowels did you count?\n<\/p>\n<p>3. How many words do you remember?\n<\/p>\n<p>This activity often generates a lot of groans. We want to succeed so much in the initial task that we barely pay any attention to the words themselves. When asked to shift and remember words, we are frustrated because we feel misled.\n<\/p>\n<p>4. Now look at the words again. Did you notice the pattern of organisation? Each word is associated with a number.\n<\/p>\n<p>5. Try the game again. How many words did you remember this time?\n<\/p>\n<p>Most people remember more words the second time that they play the game. There are three reasons for this. First, they knew what the real task was by being provided the criteria for success. Second, the information was organised in a way to aid memory. Third, they were given more than one opportunity to practise remembering to stimulate the recall of previously acquired information.\n<\/p>\n<p>This simple game covers a great deal of the seven evidence-based principles for learning that are discussed in this module.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \nNewPP limit report\nCPU time usage: 0.027 seconds\nReal time usage: 0.031 seconds\nPreprocessor visited node count: 176\/1000000\nPreprocessor generated node count: 1226\/1000000\nPost\u2010expand include size: 6384\/2097152 bytes\nTemplate argument size: 3884\/2097152 bytes\nHighest expansion depth: 7\/40\nExpensive parser function count: 0\/100\n--><\/p>\n<p><!-- Saved in parser cache with key we_en-mw_:pcache:idhash:187286-0!*!*!*!*!2!* and timestamp 20201117013459 and revision id 1079380\n -->\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"visualClear\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<ul class=\"pager\">\n<li class=\"previous\">\n            <a href=\"\/nzext101\/learning-pathways\/teacher-for-learning\/t4l-activity-1\">\u2190 Previous<\/a>\n          <\/li>\n<li class=\"next\">\n            <a href=\"\/nzext101\/learning-pathways\/teacher-for-learning\/strategies-for-organising-information\">Next \u2192<\/a>\n          <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer><\/footer>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201c Organising is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up. \u201d \u2014A.
