How Do You Use This Doc? 🗺️
This starter pack is split into 8 pages. The pages go in chronological order. You don’t need to go in order, but it is most intuitive that way.
As you learn, remember that:
- At the top of each page, you can toggle to between pages & see the main ideas you will learn on that page. At the bottom of each page, there is a recap & toggle.
- We intertwine a lot of outside resources. These resources are NOT supplementary. They are usually the most valuable part of the page. If you don’t read/watch it, you won’t learn nearly as much. If it isn’t under “Further Resources,” read it!
- To truly learn something, it is best to explain it in your own words. As you go through, use the “Explain It Yourself" page & challenge yourself to answer its questions in your own words. Read to collect the dots, write to connect them.
