Midterm strategy
For the vocab midterm, my strategy is to have a list of every vocab word we've used this year, and then try to create a story using only the vocab words. No definitions, no help, nada. Just a list of every vocab word and my brain. However, knowing me, it will probably be irrelevant due to me having chronic bad luck when it comes to definitions in vocab tests.

Your approach to the midterm is interesting but to daring for my taste because I don't know all the words well enough to create a story with them.
ReplyDeleteI would not risk not having any reference material, have the words on a list off to the side for you to check afterwards to insure you use the right definition. But it is a funner way of trying to study then the older styles of studying.
ReplyDeleteI definitely don't know the words well enough to create a story, so I will be using a more traditional approach.... but nice meme. :)
ReplyDeleteTough way of studying for me but if it works for you I don't see why not. I would add a scheduled to the post listing your goal for each day, say 45 words a day. Is this the only way you study? If you have any more ways you should add them so people can see if those ways work for them too.
ReplyDeleteWell, this is ambitious. Good luck with it, and good luck getting the same definitions as Preston! This seems like more work than I'm personally willing to put in, but if you pull it off you'll have the midterm in the bag.
ReplyDeleteJust using the vocab words? But that's like using only a certain number of nouns, adjectives, and verbs. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be able to write a cohesive story without going farther than the list. Love your background btw :B
