In class:
Mrs Choffrut: Close you eyes imagine a place that makes you think of Munro/Donne
In our minds: Ok why not? Is this really useful
*closing our eyes* : Ok think of a place that makes you think of Munro/Donne *thinks* will this be useful? ok let's give the first thing that comes to your mind and find a very convincing argument
Mrs Choffrut: *trumpet sound from the phone* time's up, hope you didn't take a nap, know you are all tired, so *calls a name* what place did you chose
Person explains
*Ohhh not bad very interesting*
Today at the exam
In my head ; *Mrs Choffrut voice* close your eyes imagine a place and stick a quote at a certain area in the place that you imagined
*Close my eyes imagines the place* and the quotes came and also helped for an introduction.
Even though it was weird, the activities were fun and useful.
Thank you Mrs Choffrut
yes thanks to this exercise I was able to remember "Alice munro is a fearless explorer of the human mind" and I used it as a hook !!
ReplyDelete**feeling proud**
Yes the exercise was useful :)
DeleteI had already memorised almost all of my quotes when Mrs C. gave us this technique so I didn't really use it, but I definitely will use it regularly from now on and I advise all of you to do so as well. I swear it works and then you can go around saying you have a mind palace and if that's not cool I don't know what is
ReplyDeleteIt's not weird! It's MAGIC ! I knew Mrs.C had supernatural powers. But something like that...
