Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
since it's just vocab, you can make flash cards.
personally, i'm a tree hugger so i cut a regualar 3x5 into 4s and then write the word on one side then a deinition on the back or sometimes even a picture.
ex:
front: round brush
back: used with blowdryer to straighten
good luck! <3

This is what always worked for me. First, write down a list of the words. Now, you have the book with the definitions in front of you, I'm assuming, if not find a dictionary, and have it open in front of you. On another piece of paper, write sentences, one for each word.
For example, the word is "light". (You're probably more advanced than this, but just go with it.)
You write:
I turned on the light.
But try to make it fun, but doing something like this:
"If you don't turn off your light, demonic squirrels will attack you in your sleep," said my mother as she glared angrily at me from the doorway.
Seriously, once you start doing it you'll realize that it can be pretty fun. Underline the vocab word. Try to do it in a free period before your English class. Writing things down will cement them in your memory, trust me on this. But I suggest sentences rather than definitions, because writing the definitions will require you to look back and forth between the book and your paper. And it's far more entertaining. And, whenever I've done this, I've gotten 100s on my vocab tests! On days I didn't do it, I'd get 85s or 72s. Proof that it works!
Edit: Yeah, I'm stupid and read that part after. Lol. But it still works.
