First, it means more than one person talking. Then it means talking about "something specific". For example, all the people on Yahoo Answers could discuss why so many people asking questions don't have a clue how to spell or how to express what they are actually seeking!\n\nOnce you have a subject, some participants (at least 2) and a forum (your kitchen table, Yahoo Answers, a classroom, etc.) you talk and debate the issue, which means there will usually be disagreements in a discussion because you are trying to look all sides (aspects) of the subject.

1) Do crossword puzzles.\n2) Do word finds.\n3) Make flash cards with the word on one side and definition on the other.\n4) Study with a partner.\n5) Find a creative way to use the word in everyday conversation.\n6) Look up the word in a thesaurus and see what the "flavor" of the word is -- is it mild, medium, or strong?  Compare and contrast other words like it.  \n7) Take a bunch of index cards and write your vocabulary word on it, plus others of the same family or flavor.  Categorize your word in different ways: strength, weakness, order, priority, favorite, alphabetical, etc.\n8) Create and design your own puzzles.  There is software out there for about $10 that lets you create different kinds of puzzles.\n9) Learn the etymology or word history of your word.  See which language it comes from and how old or new it is.\n10) Link vocabulary words together to make a story.\n\nHope this helps.  Cheers, K (teacher of 13 years)
