WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF VOCABULARY STORIES

WHAT THE VOCABULARY STORIES ARE FOR

The stories are writing exercises.

I select ten vocabulary words from a pack of 500 SAT words.

Then, I try to make a very short story with them.

This forces me into writing things I would never think of.

I then translate it into other words - paraphrasing it.

This is enjoyable for me.

You can read the story and try to paraphrase it also as an exercise.

Using the words is an activity that refreshes them in your mind.

Just rote learning of vocabulary is much too boring and ineffective.
