Interesting Ways to Cram
Subject:
If you have a terrible memory or just don't get history and end up always failing the tests, here are some interesting ways to study/cram which may help:
- Act it out: either by yourself or with a friend. Videotape your puppet show or do a musical.
- Make up puns or word plays: there's the obvious memoty device, the acronym, but there are other ways to make certain words, names, and numbers stick in your head. Make up a joke, pun, or play on words.
- Sing and Dance: Make up a song or dance for each chapter with a catchy rythm that'll help you remember.
- Make a model: Make a sculpture, 3D model, drawing, painting, watercolor, even a play-Doh map of what's going on. The creation will help you remember it.
