When do you practice remembering information with your students? Do you ask them to recall information from last week, yesterday or 2 minutes ago? What materials should they have in front of them when they review past material?

TYWLS Harlem Science teacher Melina Melendez wanted to show her students different ways to improve learning retention. Melina used Recall micro-routine twice in one lesson to prompt her students to remember information from science graphs. Spending time discussing how brains work around memory can create a new awareness tied to motivation.

Watch Melina explain how activities like Recall can help their brains with memory.
