In 1885, Hermann Ebbinghaus, the great German psychologist, discovered that we forget up to 90% of what we learn within 30 days if we do not make a conscious attempt to retain the learned material. What is most troubling is that much of this information is actually forgotten just hours after the initial exposure. Ebbinghaus’s study has been reconfirmed with recent research in neuroscience (Kandel & Hawkins, 1992; Medina, 2009; Sousa, 2011). Applying these daunting numbers to our students’ retention of vocabulary, it is easy to understand why they forget a large percentage of the terms they study in their …

This is a short procedural/instructional article on how to teach what I call the “three-step short story” to English language learners (ELLs). The same method, however, can easily be used to teach native-speakers of English.

Separate contributions discuss Longfellow’s financial dealings, his investment in his children, and his interest in the visual arts, as …
