What Do You Remember?
My Bunny
I once had a bunny.
He asked me for some money.
I told him, "I didn't have any, honey."
He called me a dummy.
I know, I know. You are all impressed with my writing abilities at such a young age. Okay, you are right, that was terrible. Why is it that I remember the whole process of writing that poem and reciting in front of my class like it was yesterday, but I can not remember what my kids asked me to get in the next room when I walk into that room? We are talking about the difference between remembering something from years ago to remembering from minutes age. William Glasser, a psychiatrist and educational theorist, gave some insight of this. He explained that we remember things based on our level of experience with them. Glasser says we remember 10% of what we read, 20% of what we hear, 30% of what we see and hear, 70% of what we discuss, 80% of what we experience, and 95% of what we teach others. If Glasser's theory is true, then we should consider these percentages when planning activities in our class. As teachers, you quickly become experts in your content area because you teach the content to four different classes each day. What experiences can you plan and include in your class to give students a deeper level of experience with the content so they too can remember at a higher level?
