IT’S IN THE EYES

Here are ways to make the most of using your eyes in studying, whether
they’re your learning strength or not.

WHEN LISTENING

When you’re listening to something you want to remember, try drawing
a picture or taking notes. If you’re drawing, draw what comes to mind
right away. These are your notes, so they have to make sense to you! Stick
figures are fine. If you’re writing, pretend you’re a newspaper reporter
with a lot of readers. It’ll help you focus on what’s important, and your
notes will be clearer to you if you pretend you’re writing them for
someone else.

WHEN READING

When you’re reading something you want to remember, draw or write. If
you’re writing, try choosing the most important word in a sentence, then
the most important sentence in the paragraph. Underline it if it’s your
own book; if it’s not, write it in your notebook. Explain why it’s important;
summarize what you read in words. If you’re drawing, make a series
of pictures, just like in a comic strip, summarizing what sticks out in your
mind about what you read.
