“Secret Price” Role-Play

2014 年 10 月 16 日 : Agenda

Why Skritter?

Complaint: I don’t like Skritter• Skritter in my life is not very useful• I prefer to use Quizlet

Complaint: I don’t like using Skritter on Friday/Weekends• The grade should be for a 5 minute average

per day for the week.• Skritter should be able to be made up-Do you agree with these complaints? -Why do I want you to use Skritter every day?

SPACED REPETITION…

CRAMMING DOESN’T WORK

• Studies show that college learning Chinese only remember 39 % of the characters they've learned!

SPACED REPETITION• It’s way easier to remember words if you

review them again and again, over a long period of time.

• With SPACED REPETITION, students remember 90% of all the Chinese words they’ve learned.

Skritter: I’m too busyTime Management: Jar of Time

Rocks: things that take up BIG chunks of time

Pebbles: things that up MEDIUM chunks of time

Sand: things that take LITTLE chunks of time (“small grains of time”)

Water: super TINY tasks

• The rocks in my life represent anything that has to do with school (especially including Skritter). School is my #1 priority at this time in life for me.

• The sand is stuff like putting classroom materials on my desk before a class, or brushing my teeth.

• My pebbles are to do well in sports.

• The water is all the moments I spend in my life.

• Rocks: overcoming procrastination

• Pebbles: Maintaining good relationships with my family and friends.

• Sand: Sleep and free-time

• Rocks: Homework and other academic activities

TLDR: You are not busy to use Skritter every day

Skritter: “a small grain of time”• Where are the “small grains of time” in your

daily life?• Which small grain can you put Skritter into?

>grain 1: 5 minutes before bed>grain 2: 5 minutes right after dinner>grain 3: 5 minutes when I go into the bathroom>grain 4: 5 minutes at the start of my free period

Skritter: I forgot

What are some solutions for forgetting?
