six learning strategies

Yana Weinstein and Megan Smith are two girls, who create a website with six learning strategies: The Learning Scientist. They made the website for helping people who having trouble with learning. Yana started tweeting students at Washington University to help them with studying. Later she asked Megan to collaborate and their collaboration became popular. They made a blog and later they create the website with the best six learning strategies. The six learning strategies are: spaced practice, retrieval practice, elaboration, interleaving, concrete examples and dual coding. Retrieval practice is my favourite. With retrieval practice you put your books away and write everything down what you know and then you check it. That is my favourite because you’ve got a survey about everything you know and what you have to practice more. That helps me better than a planning because by a planning you make a estimation and by retrieval practice are you sure about what you have to do. When I used retrieval practice I mostly use dual coding. With dual coding you combine words and visuals. I like that because than it is easier to remember things. When I use retrieval practice and dual coding I get a better mark than when I only read the text and the notes.

Autobiography of Annemarie van der Tuuk

Hello, my name is Annemarie van der Tuuk. I was born at the 13th December 2002 at home in Winsum. Winsum is a village in the northern part of the Netherlands. I have one brother, he is two years older than I am. His name is Jan Dietert. My mother ’s name is Saskia and my father’s name is Michiel. When I was five years old, my parents bought a farm in Tinallinge. Tinallinge is a very small village. There is only a church and a couple houses. Our house is much bigger than in Winsum. We have also a big garden. The only disadvantage is the distance between Tinallinge and a bigger village with a supermarket, school, friends and sport.

I went to primary school in Winsum: De Piramide. My hobbies were: streetdance and volleybal. Since three years I started playing soccer. I like the ambiance much better than volleybal. And I enjoy sports outdoor. Besides that I like watching Netflix movies and series and listening to music on Spotify. And of course there’s nothing better than hang out and chill with my friends. Now I attend a pre-university education in Warffum and  I am in the fourth grade.

Since last year we have a border collie dog, her name is Joy.  This year my mother decided that she wants to divorce my father. So this year wasn’t that easy. My mother lives now in Winsum and my father still in Tinallinge. My brother and I move every Friday to the other parent. This month I started working as a supermarket employee at Aldi store in Winsum. The extra money I earn I spent on my last and most expensive hobby: Shopping

Over ten years I am 25 years old. How I think my live will look like:

  • Working
  • studying
  • Partying
  • Doing nice things with friends
  • Living in Groningen

To conclude: I am a normal fifteen years old girl, who attend a pre-university education. I live in Tinallige and Winsum, because my parents are divorced. In Tinallinge I live with my father, brother and dog. In Winsum I live with my mother and brother.
