Module 4 post

Don’t you love when you are reading something and then an hour later you can recite it? That is thanks to your brain being able to retain information that it is given. That isn’t always an easy thing to do, either. Module 4 was all about reading to remember and how using tactics that aid in remembrance to your advantage. One of the most important aspects that I saw in the module was the specific tactics that were given on how to aid in remembrance. This was important to me because I myself take some of these steps to help my memory. For example, one thing I feel like I do really well is to review the content multiple times to really drive the message home. This is depicted in the module as sensory memory, working memory, and long term memory. The way the described the process of memorizing facts and figures really was review to me because I felt like I follow a similar pattern. One module practice that I could possibly improve upon would be the highlighting, making note cards, and going above and beyond. I tend to rely on technology and my memorization skills more than doing flash cards or highlighting, so I may try that in the future to see if it will give me a bigger advantage. Some advice for you kids, would be to always try and memorize what you read. The readings are just words on a page, but if you can put the readings into practice and actually apply them, it will make it more enjoyable and profitable.
