because vocab II

Huh.

I was thinking about strategies for remembering this material for Friday's test.   My first idea won't work. Our Lit Terms make a horrible acrostic puzzle.  Look:

Alliteration
Allusion
Anthropomorphism
Characterization
Connotation
Denotation
Diction
Myth
Personification
Symbolism
Theme
Tone

I mean... AAACCDDMPSTT?  What is that? 

Then I remembered there is an easier way to do this.  Create a mnemonic device out of the first letter in each word.  Look:

Amusing

Aunt

Antihero
Clever

Cheese
Dumb and
Dumber
Meerkat

Plain
Stupid

Toy

Train

You'll need to know these twelve terms and their definitions on Friday, when you will be asked to respond to this prompt: "Please list and define the twelve literature terms we have studied so far."

Please comment to this post if this study strategy helps you-- or, even better, please comment if you invent a strategy that helps you more!
