Write each character 8 times.  You should write them with the right number of strokes and the correct stroke-order. 

You should put pinyin and English meaning at the beginning and end of each line, in the 1^st and the 10^th column, to strengthen the association between the sound, meaning and shape. In situations where single characters do not have clear meanings, give the meanings of the combinations they enter into.

You should also put down the number of strokes below the first character. 

You should identify the meaning/sound clues and mnemonic tips of each character, at least the ones shown in the ppt.  If you have other mnemonic tips to help with memorization, you can also put them down.
