The Sentence Method

Hey everyone, today I'm going to discuss yet another new method, that I learned from one of my friends. I find it interesting, and EXTREMELY detailed but very time-consuming. It's also a little hard to see what points are major/minor, unless you underline or something like that. My friend finds it difficult to reorder the chunks of information, or remove anything, but other than that, she is very comfortable with it.

It's pretty simple:

- Take a piece of paper

- Write each sentence of information seperately, leave some place in between the sentences

- Number the info.

- Sample:

1. Darkness to light is juxtaposed against continual humility.



2. Everything is dark, but not dreary.


3. Setting is hard, and dark. [connect to line 2]

Des says: Well, as far as methods go, I think this is an excellent method, but it's
rather tedious. It's great for classes where the content is mainly all important, and details are required. It's all good in classes where the educator gives a lot of main points, asks you to connect them to something in a text or handout, but doesn't connect all the points together. Of course, improvisation is always important, so if you get an idea, not only should you try it, but share it with us!

Have fun!
