7th Grade Spanish - August 28th

HW:  Create a "Sure Fire Way to Study List" for the South American capitals and countries.  
Step 1:  List the countries on the left side of a page. 
Step 2:  Without looking at your notes, write the names of the capitals you can remember. 
Step 3:  To fill in the missing answers, look at your notes for the answer, close the notes, and then
                fill in the answer on your list from memory.  DO NOT copy directly from your notes.
                You may have to open your notes, consult the list, and close it more than once.
Step 4:  Fold back the countries list, so only the capitals list is showing.
Step 5:  Write in the names of the countries next to each capital.
Step 6:  Again, if you can't remember, consult your notes but DO NOT copy directly from your notes.
Step 7:  Continue the process, folding back the previous column and writing the answers from memory until
                you can do the complete list of coutries and capitals without looking at your notes.
Have the list ready to show me as a homework assignment.
