A few years ago, a teacher introduced different types of learning methods in the hopes that it would help her students study better.
She categorized students into visual learners, auditory learners, and verbal learners. I was intrigued by this method of categorization, and I began to search for the method of studying that suited me the most. After experimenting in the different learning sections, I came to the conclusion that I was a visual learner. Seeing is believing: Visual learning is the most helpful during memorization of events and vocabulary. History: There are countless dates in history and an innumerable amount of battles. To remember all of these conflicts and time periods, set up a sequence of events from the earliest incident, to the latest incident. Below the dates, write the title of the battle and then draw a defining picture. Now, instead of memorizing stiff facts and dates, memorize the pictures and their characteristics. This method of drawing and memorizing can prompt the brain in case of a "memory blank" during the test. Vocabulary: For vocabulary, write the word then draw a related picture next to it. The pictures will stimulate the brain in the case of a brain freeze. For example, if the word was apathy, then draw a picture of a smiley face with a red "X" over it to symbolize that the smiley has a lack of emotion.
