Make and show Suppose your partner is not good at memorying things. Try to give him/her some advice. Make a conversation and act it out. A: I always forget English words the next day! It’s so frustrating. B: Don’t worry! Forgetting is quickest in the first 9 hours. You should review the words 1 hour after learning them. A: What else can I do? B: Also, try to make stories with the words—meaningful things are remembered 10 times longer than meaningless ones! Example 1. Who & What? Summary - Forgetting is fastest in the first 9 hours. - Relearning > Learning new things. - Meaningful information remembered 10 times longer. - More time/care → longer memory. - Spaced learning > cramming. - Beginning & End of a list are easiest to remember. - Hermann Ebbinghaus - First scientist to study memory & learning experimentally. 2. Key Findings Summary - 1 hour: very quick forgetting - 9 hours: about 60% forgotten - 24 hours: about 2/3 (67%) forgotten - Shape: Sharp drop → Gentle curve 3. The Forgetting Curve Homework 02 Write a short paragraph (5-7 sentences) about how you will use ONE of Ebbinghaus’ findings to learn the vocabulary in this unit. Practice: 03 Work in a group to create a “Memory Master” tip poster introducing Ebbinghaus’s findings and giving 2-3 study tips. Extend: Read the text aloud. Copy and memorize the key vocabulary and sentence patterns. Basic: 01 Bye-bye $
