Stop ’n’ Write 🟪 When you are studying something, stop and write about it. This helps you summarize along the way and keeps you on track.
Nutshelling 🟪 Do you know the phrase “in a nutshell”? It means “to say a lot in a few words.” A nutshell is a kind of summary. Try it yourself. In one sentence, write the most important idea you heard in class or read in an assignment. (Try nutshelling.)
