    HOW TO DO IT

    Ask yourself questions while you are studying


    about how things work and why, and then find the
    answers in your class materials and discuss them
    with your classmates.
    Elaboration

    HOW TO DO IT

    As you elaborate, make connections between


    different ideas to explain how they work together.
    Take two ideas and think of ways they are similar
    and different.

    HOW TO DO IT

    Describe how the ideas you are studying apply to


    your own experiences or memories. As you go
    through your day, make connections to the ideas
    you are learning in class.
    Elaboration

    HOLD ON!

    Make sure the way you are explaining and


    describing an idea is accurate. Don’t overextend
    the elaborations, and always check your class
    materials or ask your teacher.
