The idea is usually called multisensory learning or multimodal encoding: memory can improve when information is encoded through more than one compatible channel, such as seeing and hearing it. Research reviews report that congruent audio-visual information can improve later recognition compared with single-sense encoding.frontiersin
But there is not one definitive “hear it, write it, see it” study. That classroom phrase blends several findings:
Dual coding theory: pairing words with meaningful visuals can create more than one retrieval route.
Generation effect: actively producing information—such as writing a paraphrase or completing a cue—usually improves recall over passive reading or listening.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih+1
Handwriting research: writing by hand often supports learning because it combines motor action, visual-spatial processing, and meaning-making; it is especially useful when students summarize rather than copy word-for-word.

Identificar: You will hear a series of expressions. Identify the expression (a, b, c, or d) that does not belong in the series. Listen to the audio as many times as you need to. Turn this assignment in on Schoology. (Do not write what they say in Schoology, write the letters either A, B, C, or D.)

You will complete this video on Schoology. Make sure that you take time to do a great job on this assignment. This assignment is going in as a quiz grade. You can do the video with a classmate, parent, sibling or friend. If your partner is not in this class or doesn’t take Spanish, then you will need to make the script for the person that you work with and possibly help them with it. I will need to be able to see you talking in the video.
I have provided a video example of what content that your video needs right below this section. Click the picture to open it.
Your video will be two separate conversations – One that is formal and another that is informal. For one of the conversations, you ask the questions. On the other, you answer the questions that they ask you. Both must contain the following information.
- Asking someones name – and a logical response.
- Ask how they are doing – followed by a logical response.
- Ask where they are from – and a logical response.
Watch the video of Miss Branson and I giving an example of an informal and a formal introduction.
