Answer 1

There really is no easy way to remember anytihng. Even if you were to make it into a song, you'd have to sing it more than 10 times to get it down. The rule for ememorization is 7 times- so if you do one of these methods seven times, you're set.

Method number one: But I agree use a melody that is very easy to remmber for you, add like a symbol clash in your head after certain words, so when you're trying to recall you will know think "yeah the symbol comes up after this word" and you'll be able to write it down easily.

Second method: Write it down over and over. Write the first sentence and memorize it, then memorize the second and when you write it down from memory, start with the first sentence.

So for example, say you are memorizing humpty dumpty. Memorize the first like "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.

Write it from memory: HUMPTY DUMPTY SAT ON A WALL.

Now read the second and memorize. "Humpty Dumpty had a great fall" .

Now write it :HUMPTY DUMPTY SAT ON A WALL. HUMPTY DUMPTY HAD A GREAT FALL

repeat til the end

Method Number 3: Memorize the first letter of each sentece, for example in the humpty dumpty poem, it would be HHAC- Then when you write it down on paper, you have a makeshift outline that looks like:

H
H
A
C

Now using memory, you can fill in because you know what sentence comes after the first.

H- umpty dumpty sat on a wall
H- umpty dumpty had a great fall
A- ll the king's horses and all the king's men
C- ouldnt' put humpty together again.

Or you could do this method with key words along with the first letter of the sentence. For example HW- humpty,wall. HF- humpty fall. AK- all, king's, CT- couldnt' together. This way your brain will be able to fill in the rest.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Wow, that is a really long document and it seems impossible to memorize that in one night. I had a hard enough time trying to memorize a one paragraph poem in my last English class. I'm guessing that you really procrastinated for some reason. Anyway, I'd suggest that you go paragraph by paragraph and read it out loud over and over again, close your eyes after each sentence and visualize the words and try to say it back until you perfect it. You may even want to make a recording of yourself, so you can play it instead. Doing something physical may also help, such as walking around wherever you live.

Answer 3

Make it into a song. It won't rhyme, but put it to the tune of a current song that you like. You'll be able to remember it, guaranteed.
