Ideogram Method

  1. Know that ideograms are symbols used to represent words.
  2. Doodle something to represent a word for a test and nobody would think twice about it. Example The name Friedrich Nietzsche would translate into:
    • a doodle of Fred Flintstone (fred); A bag of money(rich); a ball of yarn with needle(knit as in Niet); a yin-yang chi symbol (chi). #*Those symbols would translate to:
(fred)(rich)(knit)(chi) saying the words out loud easily reveals the name.
      • [This method works best with one word answers on tests without word banks and it helps if you are good at mad libs and drawing]
