Strategies

1. Create flashcards
   • Paper or digital
   • Flashcards are great because they use recall rather than recognition
     • With recognition you tell yourself you know the answer, recall requires you to pull info from your brain
   • With flashcards, don’t forget to understand how concepts connect
2. Summarize/rewrite notes
   • Create summary pages
   • For example: Write in notebook then summarize in Notability
3. Testing yourself
   • Create practice quizzes
4. Flow Chart/Web map
   • After reading a passage, close the book to create a web map to see what you’ve learned and remembered

Steps to take

1. Identify what is important
2. Organize important information in a way you can understand

3. Actively memorize
4. Apply info
   • Example: Practice tests
