How do you study for a quiz? Try:
1. read the words and definitions over at least 3 times while thinking about what each word means;
2. make flash cards (Extra credit if you show them to me tomorrow);
3. quiz yourself
4. Have a friend or family member quiz you
5. rewrite the words and definitions
6. Make and memorize mental pictures of each part of the definition.
7. Make and memorize a memory trick. Ex: ICE means Inference is Conclusion on Evidence
