Behind the Scenes...
Throughout our lives, we constantly memorize things without even noticing. So, you think we would be professionals at memorization. Wrong! Typically, when we are ordered to or asked to memorize something it seems as if our memorization skills completely hide way. As a result, we find it difficult at times to memorize things in general. However, there are memorization techniques that come handy. Recently, I was assigned to memorize two poems, Richard Corey, and, The Laughing Heart. Here's how I did it!
Repetition
Firstly, I repeatedly read the two texts. Over and over again. Night after night. This works efficiently because at some point it just sticks to your brain. In addition, if i would constantly miss a word I would repeat it again and again. To summarize, repetition will annoy to the point where you will remember. Trust me!
Record/Listen
Secondly, I recorded myself reciting the poems. More than once if I may add. If any mistakes were made I would start all over again. I feel as if listening to myself made it sort of easier to remember the lines. For the reason, that it wired my brain to think I already stated the lines before so I can just do it again sort of feel to it. In conclusion, this technique brought confidence to recite the words and phrases.
Signing out,
