Phase Two Part Five Question Six

Ways to Incorporate Thinking and Language into a Learning Strategy:

1. Thinking allows people to form concepts that organize into sections of retained information. Thinking allows people to solve problems and make reasonable judgments. In the learning strategy, one could read the important document and after reading a passage, reflect and think on what the person has just read. This thinking process after each passage will allow the person to create a general idea for the passage and truly understand the concept through the thinking process.

2. Language is the framework for thinking and is built based on growing experience. Language can be incorporated in the learning strategy by breaking unfamiliar words into words that people can comprehend. When a term or concept is read in the book, one can break down the term to its roots in order to understand the term and therefore make a connection to psychology, overall preparing themselves for the AP exam using simple language basics.

3.To use thinking and language in our learning strategy we will use mnemonic devices so students can make relationships and connections to the information they are learning.  Therefore, the information will be stored and ready to be retrieved by an easy fashion.

4. To use critical thinking and language, we could incorporate class discussion because this would allow us to gain the perspectives of all other students.  More information, in all different opinions, would "stick" in our mind.

5. To use language in an abstract way, we could group words together through chunking.  This is when we group words or numbers into phrases that make sense so that we can remember it easier.  For example, if we are given the  words eat, cake, boy. We can rearrange them to make a phrase that is easy to remember and comprehend; Boy eats cake.
