PUTTING WORDS INTO PICTURES

​

In 6th grade, I was in a play called The Christmas Carol. One of the actors saw I was struggling with memorizing spelling words. He told me to pick out my favorite color. When I did, he told me to write down one spelling word, close my eyes, and see the word. "Now write the word again and visualize the word backward," he instructed. This was when I learned about color - picture association. After this spelling word experience, I always studied with color to remember: maps, vocabulary, and even math. I got mostly A's on tests after learning this color trick-of-the-trade. 

In college, when I got into Political Science 120 with a challenging professor, I thought I was in trouble! My professor required his students to remember big chunks of information. After getting through test #1 with black and white - very wordy notes - I remembered accomplishing the impossible using color in 6th grade. I describe the steps to accomplishing an "A" in Political Science and other subjects below. Below that explanation is the storyboards I created.

Storyboards can be created with: crayons, pens, cutouts, stamps, stickers, shapes, magazine pictures, digital art, Google Drawings... have fun and create!
