A METHOD FOR TEACHING NAME MNEMONICS Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Name mnemonics provide a powerful technique for remembering names. This classroom demonstration teaches students how to construct and use name mnemonics. Students create mnemonics for each other in small groups. Students then describe their name mnemonics to the class. The exercise teaches mnemonics, gives students an experience with group creative problem solving, and ensures that nearly every class member's name will be known to all others in the class.
