Writing Homework Help

I’m working on a writing discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

By attaching personal significance to something you are trying to remember is a technique for enhancing memory. For this discussion, take a subject or topic that you currently find boring or tedious and find a way to connect it to some meaningful aspect of your life, such as one of your goals. Share with your group members your method for making meaningful connections to this information.

Sample Student response

How to make math meaningful is a real challenge since I do not see using it in my career. I have tried making a mental puzzle of my algebra homework by pretending I am solving some kind of world problem as if the future of humanity depends on me figuring out this answer. It can make it a bit more interesting, but still not truly meaningful in an authentic way. I know I will need to continue experimenting with this technique and being more creative. I guess that is the type of commitment one needs to make—to experiment with this idea more often.
