Aid Memory: Organizing and Remembering

Today we worked to answer the essential question: How does the way we organize data influence how we understand and remember it?  For HW tonight, A day, the students will create a tool to organize information that AIDS their memory (concept map, pneumonic, song, etc.).  We looked at several examples in class today.  We also explored the difference between a line graph and a line plot.  
More information on concept maps.
