Well, I made a mistake. When my English teacher told my class about our vocab log assignment. I thought that I would do my studying the way I wanted to and then after I had finished I would post one blog entry that would recap my study history. So a couple of days ago, I learned I was supposed to be periodically editing and adding to a post about what I was doing. Well, obviously I cannot do that anymore, but I will still do my original plan and post what I did throughout my study time.
Unit 6
For this unit I decided to make flashcards. I have always used them and they most always worked for me. It does get somewhat repetitive, but I learned the words pretty well in about an hour. I did this unit for about three days and worked on them for about thirty minutes the following two days. I also did some of the activities in the book. I think that I know these words pretty good.
Unit 7
For some reason, I decided to learn these words differently from the previous unit. For this unit, I took every definition and shortened and paraphrased them. Then I would write them down many times. It's just something about writing things down that helps me remember things. I did it a lot during Biology and I liked it and thought that I might do it again. As I did last time, I did a few of the more important activities in the book.
Unit 8
I again made flashcards for this unit and did some of the activities for this unit. This unit was the most difficult for me. I just didn't know as many as these words and it took me longer to memorize what they meant. Some of the words such as triumvirate and votary were unusual and strange to me and took some more time to learn.
Unit 9
This was by far the easiest section for me to learn. I wanted to see if a combination of writing down the definitions and making flashcards would help me any. Unfortunately I have no idea if the section was made easier by combining my two techniques or because the words were easier. I think it is probably a combination of both.
I think that I am well prepared for this quiz

Yeah I made the same mistake. We'll both just have to do really good blogs for the after part. I think it's interesting how you used totally different techniques. COOL KEVIN!
Your teacher? Do you think we don't know who your teacher is?
I thought that we weren't supposed to post your name on the internet.
