Color-Coding Words

Using a second color, color-code any words (or phrases) that stand out to you as seeming important or just interesting.

• There is no right or wrong word/phrase to choose and no limit on how many words you color-code.

• I like to choose similarities in words, phrases, themes, or ideas above all else, as these often tell you about the most important topics and truths.

  • repetitions in words, phrases, or ideas

  • patterns in phases and/or ideas

  • [synonyms] different words that mean the same or similar things

• To learn more about finding the main ideas and truths see the future lesson entitled (Re) Create the Scene.

I have completed chapter one as an example for you. This is what I chose based on what I felt was important, or just interesting. Your words may be different, and that's okay!

• Sometimes when color-coding a repeated idea or topic, you may need to color-code the entire phrase that is repeated that encases that "idea".

For example:

• I color-coded go back, return, gone back, back home, because they are the same idea; the daughters-in-law returning back home to their families. A phrase is simply more than one word, but not a complete sentence.

• Don't worry if you are confused, I explain this further each week during the weekly chapter overview video.
