Can I sort what’s important from lesser details?
Am I linking information to other experiences?
Am I making predictions?
Am I working at an appropriate pace?
Am I making changes when things aren’t working?

Memory
Memory is your screwdriver. You can use this tool to connect or fasten together different aspects of your learning. Ask yourself:
Can I paraphrase or summarize information into my own words so I can remember it?
Can I balance immediate objectives with long-term goals?
Can I link related items together to help me remember?
Can I categorize items together so I can remember?
Can I recognize patterns?

Higher Order Thinking
Higher Order Thinking is your fastener. You can make connections with this tool. Ask yourself:
Am I evaluating?
Am I brainstorming?
Am I using steps or systems to solve problems?
Do I learn and apply rules (i.e. grammar, mechanics)?
Am I coming up with thoughtful answers?

Language
Language is the material out of which we construct English. Ask yourself:
Do I learn and understand the meanings of words and use them properly?
Do I understand sentences and sentence structures and formulate good sentences when I speak and write?
Can I paraphrase and summarize what I read?
Is my writing organized?
Do I expand and develop ideas when speaking and writing?
