Try to Remember Using Mnemonics



It is time again for 'Say It Again PI Sam.'  today's repeat post is "Mnemonics", one of my favorite learning tools.  When I took piano lessons my piano teacher used Mnemonics to help me learn to read music.  The notes corresponding to the lines of the treble clef : Every Good Boy Does Fine and for the spaces FACEMnemonics are a great way to remember and consequently learn.  Here is the original post:

Mnemonics


A few days ago I talked about the KISS METHOD for instructing and learning.  Today I'm going to talk about remembering what we learn using MNEMONICS.  Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines MNEMONIC as: assisting or intended to assist memoryAn example would be HOMES to remember the names of the Great Lakes - Huron - Ontario - Michigan - Erie - Superior. 

 What mnemonics do you use?  
I use Mnemonics when I'm writing reports I always go through my 5 W's -WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE and sometimes WHY.      Nerd smile
