There are lots of fun and quick activities that can be used for retrieval practice. Retrieval practice is critical to create strong connections to learned memories and class material. When we regularly use retrieval practice activities in class, the students create stronger memories and are able to retrieve the data better on test day. The RP's do not have to be long or extra involved, but they do need to be regular. Brain breaks help students get their brains refocused and are fun.

How and Why?
1. Use it often
2. Review, activities, etc.
3. Modeling, teaching HOW to retrieve.

# data[].attributes.body
Why it works video.
1. Use it or lose it.
2. Challenges students to pull from past knowledge.
3. Shifts metacognition.

Retrieval practice is more important than we give it credit for - Willard

Retrieval practice works because as a consistent spaced out activity, students have less opportunities to lose what they have learn. Students can efficiently self-assess by having learned strategies to do so.

Successful Retrieval Takes Training
Students do not know how to use flash cards, so they need to be trained to reflect on them and practice more often.

By retrieving the information so they are using instead of losing it. To re-read material gives you false confidence, so instead they need to practice retrieving the material. You have to shift your way of thinking so that your aren't just cramming the material and more aware of what you know.

JV Precal read "Why Students Forget" which explains that forgetting is a survival trait since we don't need to retain all information about our world and our brain sorts what is important and what is not needed, then discards what it doesn't need. Some strategies to help kids remember are having them explain a concept to a peer or connecting an image or sense with a topic. Revisiting the information, or spiraling, is also very important - seeing the info multiple times helps builds the neurons to remember the material better!

Watched video on retrieval and found that students think that cramming or last minute studying works, but find that they don't retrieve all the information.

Why?
1.  If you don't practice, you lose it.
2. Helps stretch your brain if it's a not-so-easy concept.
3. Shifts metacognition (????).

I watched the video "Why Retrieval Practice Works". The lady in the video talked about how many students study is to cram for a test. And when they cram, they aren't storing information as successfully for future retrieval. Therefore, right after the test, they forget what they studied. When we use retrieval practices in class, we all for constant connections to that learning and therefore makes it easier for students to find the learning when it's needed.

3 reasons why retrieval practice is important
1) use it or lose it
2) desirable difficulties
3) shifts in metacognition

# data[].attributes.body
Why Retrieval Practice Works - Video
- Uses what you know
- Challenges you to think back
- Isolates what we know vs what we don't know aka metacognition
