When The Memory Devices You Normally Use Aren ' t Doing The Trick, Remember The Rest! You stood up and slowly walked to the podeum and strug- gled to remember your lines. The teacher asked if you had memo- rized the poem. You answered yes, but asked for a moment to prepare anyway. You thought of your neumonic device, SILLY DOGS ARE CUTE and began your recitation. Because of the device you used, you received an A + on your assignment. How do you memorize some- thing? There were many ways that students memorize certain as- signments. A mneumonic device could make it easier to recall something because you used a saying, or the first letters, or just something that is easy for you to remember. A mneumonic device is not the solution for everyone, maybe you ' re a person who can remem- ber just by looking at something for a long time. All I have to do is stare at a piece and read it a cou- ple of times and 1 can remember it, said Christina Edivan. Flash cards make memorization easier for some people, because you can really mix them around and see if you really know it. I like using flash cards to memorize things because I can read the question to see if I know the an- swers, confided Julie Mewton. No matter what method you use for memorization you should try them all at least once. Who knows, they may help you to pass that difficult class or test. Remem- ber that!! i i I don ' t make my a lot but when I do, I use mneumonic de- vices or just straight memorization. A ACTING OUT A WORD.
