Ideas

Stimulate your brain by sipping eight-twelve ounces of liquid through a “crazy straw.” Sucking stimulates both sides of the brain and enhances neural pathways.

Write; Listen, Tell to process new information. Stop during a lesson. Have students write an idea or draw a visual on a sticky note depicting something they have just learned. Find a partner, listen to what the partner has learned, and tell that partner what he/she has learned. The best way to raise quiz and test scores is to verbalize the response.
