Students learn about memory by doing a memory-writing exercise, studying the brain to understand how it affects memory, reading Li-Young Lee's poem "Mnemonic," and creating projects to demonstrate their understanding.

Students' responses to this lesson will be out of this world after they've researched astronomy to write poetry and compile a poetry book.

Reading is revamped in this lesson in which students use a multimedia approach to study the books by Seymour Simon.

Striking images can leave lasting impressions on viewers. In this lesson, students make text–self–world connections to a nature- or science-related topic as they collaboratively design a multimedia presentation.
