Make Mnemonics to Help Memory Print this page Save this page
Ask students to create mnemonics or mental memory houses to recall factual course material that must be memorized. Mnemonic devices are especially useful for ordered material that must be committed to memory, such as the order of the planets in the solar system (“My Very Easy Method: Just Set Up Nine Planets”). Students should create their own mnemonics and determine whether the mnemonic is easier to remember than the sequence of items by themselves.
