= Analogies: =

(An analogy is a comparison that relates from one subject to another. These should be learning-based analogies that relate the vocabulary word to some common topic, such as driving cars, sports, fishing, or politics.) Kanye West's single "Clique" is not a literal example of a clique. But it is a great memory device!

Analogies are like old friends who help you meet new people. The old friends are the subjects you are already familiar with; the new people are the new facts that you are trying to learn. Just like it's easier to meet new people through a mutual friend, it's easier to learn new information by relating it to familiar subjects.

=Mnemonics:= (Mnemonics are learning aids that help you tie information together in your long-term memory. See more on the mnemonics page or the pages for creating and cataloging mnemonics.)

"ExAM" is a mnemonic to help you remember the critical learning tools found on subject pages: Examples, Analogies, and Mnemonics. These three things will help you process information at a deeper level, and thus help you remember the information better for an actual "exam."

=In the News:= 1. When good groups go bad. Goth Jock Preps ABC article describing a planned killing spree due to the classification the students fell under in this high school.
