memory+language+book

Our memory and our brain are amazing! However, it does not record our lives like a book! You cannot go back to a previous chapter to retrieve memories accurately. Attention issues, prior knowledge, and memory decay all interfere with the actual memories that are stored. There are so many different parts to our memory that all work separately and together to help us experience and remember life. Your task is to create a book highlighting KEY concepts for each aspect of memory: Encoding, Storage, Retrieval, Thinking, Language, and Thinking and Language. Your book should be like a “cliff notes” of memory and should walk a reader through these processes in an easy to understand manner. Have fun and be creative. The most important thing is to give examples of each term. Underline or otherwise make clear each vocabulary term!

Books are due the day of the test, Tuesday

Requirements:
 * Include all 6 of the section listed below, and all RELEVANT VOCABULARY. If a term is too obvious or easy for you to bother with, don't. Please focus on the challenging ones, I know you aren't familiar especially with the thinking and Language that 5th period isn't even getting to other than Timmy's TED. No pressure for Monday Timmy! Sigh...MCAS...

Will you include every single vocabulary term from the end of the ppt or the textbook? Hopefully. But it is best to hit the ones you don't know. Don't divide and conquer, then you won't know half the terms! And your examples won't make much sense since your theme won't be very thematic...

Work together!
