Using a KIM Chart
It can be overwhelming to keep track of all the new words and phrases you learn throughout your education. A KIM chart is a good way to help you keep track of and remember all this new vocabulary. KIM stands for keyword, information, memory cue. Using a KIM chart can help you retain the vocabulary you're learning and show you how far you've come in your academic English language abilities. Read this page on creating a KIM chart and then complete the activity.
A KIM chart has a column for each of these categories: K = Key Word, I = Information (definition of the word), M = Memory Cue (sentence or picture). Complete this KIM activity by selecting the correct missing information.
