These sorts of questions are ridiculous and impossible
for most of us to answer. We are not expecting you to
train your memory for things like that, but rather be able
to memorise vocabulary, grammar rules and phrases.
Now let’s look at what you can
expect from these lessons on
memory.
• First let’s look at strategies for memorising
vocabulary.
• Then we’ll look at how to memorise whole
sentences (so they actually make sense
and are correct!)
• Finally, we’ll see how to tackle memorising
lots of sentences for a speaking or writing
assessment.

Homework
Below and on the right are the 14 words you have been learning in class today. At the start of the next
class you will do a quiz on these words.
Your task for the next lesson is to be able to:
a)
Memorise the meaning of the words.
b)
Memorise the spelling of the words
c)
Memorise the pronunciation of the words
This is how to complete this task:
1.
Use the strategies discussed in class to help you learn the words
2.
Using the sheet with the Spanish and English test yourself on the
words.
3.
After testing each time, colour code the list of 14 words on the
reverse of this sheet:
Green: I can say and spell this word and know its meaning
Orange/Yellow: I have difficulties with the spelling/pronunciation or
meaning
Red/Pink: I am struggling to learn this word.
4. Repeat 1-3 until you manage all words and can colour them green!
You should do all 4 attempts to really make sure you know them.
