Teach Students Memorization Techniques 
Practice memorization techniques with your students. Of course it is essential to build critical analysis skills, but students also need to learn techniques to retain facts. Visualizing facts or using schema webs help visual learners, while acronyms and acrostics may help auditory learners. Association techniques are also effective. Most importantly, have students take ownership of ideas by explaining the concept to a peer or writing notes about it in their own words.
