1. Chapter 16 Vocab Test Review
Try this technique…
Improve recall and increase understanding: Take notes to summarize your learning and find connections. This approach is similar to the trick teachers often use of telling students they are welcome to bring one 3″ x 5″ card of notes to use during the final exam. Most students discover during the exam that they don’t need most (or all) of the information they managed to cram onto the card. Why? Because creating the card required them to reflect on the material, find connections within the material, decide what was most important, then write the essence of it all down to make it fit on one small card.
The process of summarizing and finding connections, then writing them down, will help you to “understand” material. “Taking notes” may seem similar, but it all too often does not involve summarizing or finding connections. Summarizing and finding connections require reflection – you must think about the new material and how it relates (if at all)  to experiences you have had and/or other topics you already understand. The discovery of connections and/or relationships are what lead to both long term recall and understanding. . .
