Rewrite what I have in my note book. Then record myself so I can hear it and read it at the same time, or if I don't have much time just hear it. Ask someone else about the subject, since I know they don't know, explain like I'm the teacher, etc.
I study in advance so that it would be easier for me to review before the exam.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
