Number each card in the top
right hand corner and circle.
Place the title of the card in
large letters that fill up the
front side of the card,
preferably in color.
On the back, you will include
definition and significance of
the word, as well as any
extra info you feel is
important or that we go
over in class.
Do not write long sentences
or paragraphs. Use short
bullet points that are easy to
read and understand, as you
will be responsible for
keeping up with all
completed cards to
use in class daily and study
nightly.
