One memory from my k-12 experience was in 6th grade reading class when my teacher, Mrs. Woolslayer, would read us all scary short stories around Halloween.
Sensory Connections
One sensory connection I have is when I see one of the books that have short scary stories
Another sensory connection is when I see someone wearing blue eyeliner, because my teacher always wore blue eyeliner.
Cognitive hooks
One hook that helps me remember the memory is during Halloween.
The final hook that reminds me of this story is when I see someone wearing blue eyeliner, because my teacher always wore blue eyeliner.
Another Hook that helps me remember this is when I am at a pumpkin patch. One of the short stories she read to us was set at a pumpkin patch.
Memory Fragments
Some memory fragments I have are sitting next to my friends Mia and Rachel
All the students pulling their chairs up around her.
Her classroom was decorated with Trufula trees from the Lorax, because she was also the Science teacher.

Declarative
This is an event that happened. It is factual and therefore I did not have to learn it
This had specific people, a specific time, and was at a specific place.
Reconstruction or reconsolidation Errors
I can not tell you all the people that were in the class at the time
I cannot state the exact name of the book or the story.
