 * Analogies are comparisons from one topic to another to help the information make more sense, thus helping you to learn better. Be careful that your analogies are more than just examples. Most analogies will fall into the pattern of: If (subject) is like basketball, then (vocab word) would be like (basketball term).
 * Mnemonics (along with analogies) are the most critical part of a vocabulary page, because they will help students learn about the topic and retain what they learn. Go to the Mnemonics List to learn more.
