A key approach is to make sure the learner gets an overview of the entire project/task/activity/learning exercise. Ever tried to do a jigsaw without seeing what the picture looks like? Every starting point has a core idea. Once you understand this then you can begin to develop your basic ordering ideas as the framework from which you can sketch out what you know and do not know. By asking questions (who, what, when, where, why, how) you will find the answers have more significance and are more memorable. By continually questioning
what you do not know means learning can be endless and infinite.

Chunking
The term ‘chunking’ has been developed in relation to the neuro linguistic phrase – seven plus or minus two. This is the brains ability to absorb information. Quite a lot of information can be broken into ‘chunks’ so that we remember. For example, think about how you recall a telephone number or recite the alphabet. You chunk it!! Therefore, acquiring the facts requires us to take one step at a time; we can absorb 7 (+/- 2) new ideas/thoughts and then progress on by chunking the information again. We consciously break down what we are trying
to learn into ‘bite-size’ pieces. By taking in information bit-by-bit we experience a continuous process of small successes.
