Miss Elizabeth at my last school taught me an interesting system for list new vocabulary. She calls it Suitcase, Fridge and Dustbin. At the end of each day, he told us to look at the new word on the board. She told us to decide how usefully they were to us personally. The useful words are put in a list called a Suitcase. If we think they might be useful to the future, we put them in the list of Fridge. Dustbin is for words what we’ll never use! At the end of week, we compared our lists between those of other students.
