New Study Technique

I can't even remember what technique I wrote down that i was going to work on. But i went to study for our test with Bobbi and Toni and Toni suggested that we use concept maps becuase that was the one she had chosen. So we all got out our paper and discussed the different topics for essays and all drew our own little bubble maps for the different topics. I have always hated doing this, i'm more of a numbered and bulleted lists kind of person, but when i was writing my essays i found that writng the imformation in a different way than is was used to was really good becuase in addition to trying to remember the lists from my notes i also had these little bubble maps popping into my head and i was better able to recall exactly what i needed to know. I think that i will continue to do bubble maps for my reviews because it helped me to connect the information while still reviewing the way i would have before.
