Set the Stage: Write the subject or concept

Set the Stage: Write the subject or concept you are studying at the top of a sheet of paper and jot down everything you know about it

ELI5: Then, explain it in your own words as if you were teaching someone without a basic understanding of it.

Assess & Study: Review what you wrote and identify areas where you were wrong. Then, go back to your notes or reading material and figure out the correct answer.

Organize, Convey & Review: Lastly, if there are any areas in your writing where you used technical terms or complex language, go back and rewrite these sections in simpler terms for someone who doesn’t have the educational background you have. Review your new understanding of the subject.
