On the other hand, contextualized learning encourages the students to be engaged in activities that aid in the understanding of the presented material.  

It is easy too see that contextualized learning enables students to better grasp the concepts in daily lessons.  When there is a relatable experience for the student to refer back to, they are more likely to recall the information they learned.

Especially for young kids, rhythm and music are a great way to create a memory for the child to reference.  For example, memorizing the presidents and their office terms is easy when you sing them to the tune "Yankee Doodle".]]> 2016-02-24 17:15:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rherrod/2k7n877o4try/wish/97668392 rherrod https://padlet.com/rherrod/2k7n877o4try/wish/97668393 Contextualized learning happens when teachers develop a lesson plan that is tailored to fit each student individually.  This helps the student construct meaning based on the learning experience.
