this presentation by practicing on my speech, making flashcards, and trying to memorize the slides I was going to talk about.

That way I would rewrite my notes I had taken in class and the information from the power points because the testing effect has proven that writing longhand leads to better retention of the material (textbook).

pre-assessment data I realized they were all proficient with the zero’s one’s and two’s.
