I'm a Poet and I Didn't Even Know it.

The brain is a powerful thing guys and today we will be discussing how to maximize on one of my favorite aspects of the brain.....MEMORY.
It's amazing how much information we can absorb but today we will be practicing a method that will help you absorb the information but also be able to recall it.

I used RHYMES to help me remember.
RHYMES:
Think about how you hear a commercial that has a rhyme or jingle and it just gets stuck in your head. That is what we are going for this week when using the Rhymes strategy.

For my ETS 145 class, there are a lot of terms that we need to know. They seem to be piling on top of one another and I feel overwhelmed. I am a kinesthetic learner so writing down rhymes really works for me. The process itself was really simple. All I had to do was make a little chart with the information I needed to know on one side and then on the other side I would put my rhyme. Simple enough, right?
Suddenly, words like Producerly texts made sense. My rhymes proved be more on the ridiculous side. I feel that it actually helps me remember them better if they are absurd.

I also used this strategy in my MAT 121 class. This might not work for most math classes but because stats has so many definitions and terms in it, this strategy proved to work well.
I took some of the terms I needed to remember like mean, binomial, distribution and I associated them with rhymes that I thought could stick in my brain and I would be able to make the connection when it came time for it.
Think about how you learned the alphabet. You learned it in a song that made it simpler to remember. If you can apply that to your class work, remembering things becomes a whole lot easier. I recommend this strategy for people who are creative because they rhymes should be fun too.
