Provide as much – or as little – time as you'd like on a Brain Dump in class. You can even play it by ear, depending on how students are progressing. Depending on your students, it could take them 30 minutes or more to write down everything they know! While that's fabulous, we also know there are classroom constraints when it comes to time. Even if students retrieve only a subset of what they know, learning will be boosted for related information that's not retrieved.6
