My lawyer student C. and I compare and contrast legal vocabulary found in a news article about recent court decisions to ban and (un)block Youtube in Turkey. A good learning strategy involves finding connections, synonyms, and antonyms of the new vocabulary. After checking the definitions in the Merriam Webster dictionary, I created this mind map with text2mindmap:
