- Turning the main idea sentence of a paragraph into a question.
- Looking for transition words.
Practice 1:
There are three stages of memory. The first stage, sensory memory is the information you get from the senses like a number you’ve just seen. Working memory or short-term memory is the next stage. You might repeat the number a few times to hold it in your mind for a short-time. In the last stage of long-term memory, you would use the number frequently over time to store it in your mind forever.
