Ch.9 Vocabulary figuring out what words mean

Assign Word Study, not Word Memorization.

I liked this idea of word studies. In the past I have just memorized definitions, becuase people told me to, but that never really helped. It would be in my head for the test and out afterwards. The words that have stuck with me are the ones from My sat prep course from High School. Our teacher would make us use words in sentences, find synonms, and create analogiew; rather than just give the definition. It really helped me to retain the information later.
