Love the charge to speak directly about learning strategies & metacognition! I did some of this type of work w/my Latin 101 students this quarter. Besides talking about study strategies, I provided articles (& my take-aways) about why the strategies work. URL in alt-text. #MagistraGetsToTeach101

https://magistracohen509.weebly.com/study-resources-for-students.html Articles on Effective Studying (and my take-away from each) 3 Ways Learning a New Language Helps Your Brain (Making mistakes is an important part of learning) To Really Learn, Quit Studying and Take a Test (The process of taking a test helps students learn) Why Teachers Should Help Students Learn Effective Study Strategies (Forgetting helps support learning) Sleep and Study Schedules: Both Matter for Memory ("Time plays a key role in learning") 15 Quick (and Mighty) Retrieval Practices (written for teachers, but helpful: spacing out your studying is important) Effects of explaining a science lesson to others or to oneself (teaching someone helps you learn).
