LAI574 Assignment
Storyboard Text
- Monday morning on the bus to school...
- We're learning so much I can't remember it all!
- It's not that bad
- Another all-nighter?
- I'm only physically here, Khadijah.
- Is this about the music test today? WE have a music test?
- What the heck is a forte?
- Look it's easy. We have vocabulary like forte. And you just give the definition.... ....and I hear you thinking, what the heck is a forte.
- An every day struggle for a student could be their battle with information overload. SWD may need support to help remember specific bits of information.
- Look. Use my mnemonic device.
- Forte means loud, but it SOUNDS LIKE fort, with an "ay."
- Our fort games always used to have guns firing and all the noise. So IMAGINE our fort with all the GUNS FIRING AWAY.
- Mnemonic devices and other associative learning techniques help students learn content area vocabulary, factual information, and sometimes conceptual connections.
- I wonder if he knows he's here in the fort with me...
- And it is LOUD. So, forte, which sounds like "fort," makes us think of guns firing, and it's SO loud.
- The Keyword Method is demonstrated here. The target and unknown word is "forte."
- It's not such a bad technique after all...
- We've angered it.
- Why the FORT are you both so LOUD?
- Levin's (1983) "Three R's" begins with step 1's "Recoding" and "forte" is recoded into "fort" because it shares acoustic likeness.
- I give up...
- Next, step 2's "Relating" has the connected "fort" image developed into a full-blown, LOUD, gun-firing image.
- .... So, what does forte mean?!
- Finally, step 3's "Retrieving" brings the meaning associations seemingly unrelated information full-circle back to "forte," because forts are loud...
- I think it means loud.
- This is going to be a rough day...
