Studying for Spanish Class
Information on creating a homework/study plan: http://www.abcteach.com/Backtoschool/studyplan.htm
**Always refer to the vocabulary lists in the notebook. These lists will include all vocabulary and concepts for each unit.
- Cover up the Spanish vocabulary on the list. Try to remember the Spanish words based on their English translations. Reverse the process by covering the English translations and trying to remember the Spanish words.
- Make an audiotape of the Spanish vocabulary with the English translations. When listening to the tape, pause it before the English translation of each word and see if you can remember the meaning. Check to see if you are correct.
- Write out the vocabulary list 3 times (or more!). If your hand writes the words 3 times, your eyes have to see the words 3 times.
- Redo homework and/or class assignments in the book and workbook.
- Recreate class activities, such as games and other tasks that we did in class.
- Do assignments in the book or workbook that we did not have time to do. We do not do everything in the book and workbook. These are “ready to do” review exercises.
- Create a quiz for the unit with an answer key. Put it away for a while, and then take it.
- Do #7 with a friend. You can exchange the quizzes.
- Orally quiz a friend/relative and have a friend/relative quiz you. This can be done over the phone or with IM if you are allowed.
- Make flashcards and USE THEM!!! Play games with the flashcards.
- Sing the songs over and over and over and over!
- Make up a song or a poem with the vocabulary in it.
- Use rhymes or silly sayings to remember the vocabulary. (EX: quince = NO ROYALTY. It does not rhyme with “prince” and it is not pronounced “queen-say”. It is pronounced “keen-say”)
- Use picture aids to help you remember the vocabulary.
- Study your vocabulary every day. If you are actively studying the vocabulary, the homework assignments and the class activities will make more sense!
