Instead, practice "retrieval" -- recalling what we've learned out of our brains, not our books.

In my leadership unit in grade 9 health my students spent time reflecting on how healthy decisions are important for a healthy future. In an effort to have students dream positively for their futures, and really focus on the importance of healthy life choices, I had them create vision boards. Students were encouraged to dream about their visions for their futures and create a canvas that would display these future visions. We talked a lot about how leaders spend time planning for the future they want to have, and create visions and goals for getting to where they want to be in life.
