This post from SH!FT provides seven ways to help student retain knowledge. The visual above illustrates the concepts. The post provides additional information as well as links to
#1 - When possible, use diagrams. Many people are visual learners. Consider using graphic organizers to provide "holistic views, expressing relationships, and identifying contrasting data."
#2 - Incorporate unique and out-of-the ordinary images. Why? Images stay with us longer, and the more unique, the longer they tend to stay with us.
#3 - Dish out sensory details. The more details that engage the learner the better.

#5 - Exaggerate.
#6 - Small bites, at one's own pace.
#7 - Spaced repetition.
