This procedure essentially requires only short-termmemory acquisition and an organization that allows for efficient retrieval of the information.With the increase in class sizes, most teachers find it difficult to disseminate information andengage students in effective learning.

In the process of developing content, I tried to keep in mind that I was attempting toteach my students a thought process. I wanted them to understand my thinking; what caused meto write something down. The Visible Knowledge Project 1 calls this hidden thinking process“Invisible Learning” and defines it as follows: “What do we mean by “invisible learning”? We use this phrase to mean at least two things. First, it points us to what Sam Wineburg, in his book Historical Thinking and Other Unnatural Acts, talked about as “intermediate processes,” the steps in the learning
