C.+Phonemic+Analysis

Objective:
You will be able to define basic types of memories and give relevant examples.

Introduction:
Describe how you would teach someone how to ride a bike by using words only (no physical bike involved)... Presumably you would have a difficult time doing so because knowing how to ride a bike involves procedural memory which is implicit and thereby difficult to articulate in words.

Model:
Present the students with a flow chart outlining the basic types of memory. Explicit-- semantic and episodic. Implicit-- procedural. In defining each term, I will breakdown the words into basic sounds (im-pli-cit) so that the students with weak phonological/phonemic awareness can understand the sounds prior to presenting the definitions. I will then go on to define each type of memory. I will specifically tie in the introduction, explaining how knowing how to ride a bike is a form of procedural memory.

Guided Practice:
You and your classmates will be separated into small groups and asked to define each term in your own words. Moreover, you will be assigned one term specifically (such as episodic memory) and asked to come up with a relevant example. Each group will then share their knowledge with the class. I will monitor the activity closely and be available for any questions.

Independent Practice:
You will take home a worksheet in which you have to match each memory term to its correct definition. The worksheet will also require you to provide your own examples (different from ones presented in class).

**Note: This section does not match the "slice" because I was unaware of the criteria at the time of the discussion post assignment.
