Free Quick and Easy Learning.
LEARNING QUICK AND EASY FOR CLASS - 15 minutes per day.

(CAUTION: If students receive this all at once, they choke and go away.A bite at a time is very satisfying and all the data comes together comfortably.

1. Divide class in four groups: A, B, C, D. Assign each group a different set for study for (one, two days or one week; listen for the leaders of the group and what they are pushing for; don't linger for one alone. Keep the Groups moving.

2. Divide DOI memory word sections into four parts:
Group A: Statements 1 through 4: Course, Truths, Secure and
Destructive.

Group B: Statements 5 through 10: Train, Patient, History, Petitioned;
Group C: Statements 11 through 14: Prince, Wanting, Appealed, Acquiesce;
Group D: Statements 15 through 18: We, Declare, Power, Pledge.

3. Divide the DOI Injuries into four parts and assign a part to each Group.

A. Injuries 1 through 7.
B. Injuries 8 through 15.
C. Injuries 16 through 22.
D. Injuries 23 through 27.

a. Understand that each Group will have at least four Statements and seven Injuries per day.

b. The first few days of bowling, let them use Open-Book for exact words. After a week expect the students to have them memorized.

4. Study and Practice in those traces for one week. If the class appears to absorb the trace in one-two days then reassign traces for each group. Bowl for two days; Change traces. If that is done, they can learn the DOI in ten days time. If you linger learning a trace for one week, it will take a month.

If you leave students at their own recognizance, they will not all learn, only one to three.

5. To Bowl: Divide the Groups in half; one half on Team East and one half assigned to Team West.

6. Bowl TEN questions every day, By the end of the week be sure that you have covered every question. It is a good idea to repeat the hard Q/A often. Add the miscellaneous topics as assigned.

7. Keep track of scores and who scores. That way you can pull out a winning team to submit to the ACS BOWL. After you have chosen a team, practice them against the next highest group to sharpen them.8. Mix and Match teams, so that the team members do not lean on one or to to win for them.

9. Use this method for the Constitution Questions, as well.

B. Division of Constitution Q/A for Quick and Easy Learning.
The DOI and Constitution can be learned concurrently. You will have to have two Bowlings, separate.

1. Divide class in four groups: A, B, C, D. Assign each group a different set for study for (one, wo days or one week; listen for the leaders of the group and what they are pushing for; don't linger for one alone. Keep the Groups moving. Better to reassign the groups than those in the DOI to find different personalities, no leaning and letting someone else do the job.

2. Best to Assign Constitution Parts per: Subject matter to keep the Q&A in focus as to intent Example: Six Divisions: Preamble; Article I, Articles 2, 3, 4; Articles 5, 6, 7 and misc. matters and rephrased questions; The Bill of Rights; the
Other Amendments.

Preamble 1 - 14
Art I and House 14- 25
Article I Senate 26-35
Article I.6-Comps and I.7 Bills 36-42.
Article 8 Powers 38-42
Article 9, 10 Restraints 43-56
Article II 64-75
Article III, IV, V, VI, VII 83-94
Misc. 95-99
Bill of Rights 100-113
Other Amendments 114-121 & 122-131

Dividing Other Amendments into two Parts constitutes twelve Parts in all.
You will note that the Preamble and Article I constitute six Parts. Article
I is one half of the Constitution as Legislation is the most important Power
in all government.

Assign three Parts to each of your four Groups and begin and shift to a new
Part every two days -24 days in all. One month. Always identify the
Source-Part in giving a question so that the student can keep the Q/A in
their proper order in the Constitution. Do not mix and match Amendment
questions with Articles I.8, I.9, and I.10, or with the Bill of Rights. Do
not mix and match Article I properties with Articles II, III, or IV. This
gets confusing for the new learner. Keep the data separated.
It helps the student's memory to use picture figures rather than just words.
Such, is:

For Article I CONGRESS - Tea for Two (the House and the Senate;
For Article II PRESIDENT; Noah, (No. 1 man on the Ark.)
For Article III - SUPREME COURT, Ma, judges matters.
For Article IV - STATES, a Row of houses down a street.
For Article V - AMENDMENT can be a Law, 2/3 by 3/4;
For Article VI General Provisions, Chow, (food;)
For Article VII RATIFICATION, Cat (chases Rat)

Memorize these sounds for numbers 1 through 7: T, N, M, R, L, Ch, C.
Draw a picture of these on the board; they will fix these in their minds
and always refer to that basic picture, etc.
If you address the Bill of Rights by fours: 1-4 Personal Rights; 5-8 Court
and Law; 9-10 Organization of Authority.

The same approach can be made for the Other Amendments 11-26. Reference
11-12 as States, 13-16 Reconstruction, misc. Vote, Mix & Match President, 18
& 21 Prohibition. The President and Voting overlap as you will find. Use
sounds and memory words for Amendments 1 through 26:
1 through 7 as above, then: 8 foe; 9 boy, 10 tax, 11 Tut (king), 12 ton,
tin, tine; 13 tam; 14 tear (n); 15 tail or tale; 16 touch (of Midas); 17
tack, 18 taffy, 19 tab or tip, 20, nose, 21 note or knot, 22 sun, 23 name,
24 narrow, 25 knife, 26 nitch.

Please note that when a Summary is called for, that means a brief reference
to the matter or main point of the Amendment, no more than 15 relevant
words, no discourse. The items underlined in the full Answer are clues to
the main point for the summary.
