Does anybody else find it hard learning off things? I used to be horrible at it. Everything I tried was hopeless, until I found the way that works for me. Every body's mind works differently and something that will work for me wont work for anybody else but hey lets try it anyway!
How I learn off picture stories, oral answers or essays is.....by writing it out about 20 times. I know I know its the best tip since sliced bread! Seriously this is how I learn off things. I break the piece of writing up into small sentences, write them out a good few times, test my self by saying it out loud, then write them again and test it one last time after an hour. I have to say this works amazingly for me, everything I try to learn doing it this way I can remember it.
Yes it is time consuming but it works for me. I can learn paragraphs off of German, Irish and History one after another and not get confused.
To do this you will need a lot of paper! I usually buy a few refill pads at the start of the year. In third year I think i could have filled a wheelie bin with all of the papers, so this year I have decided to keep them and see how many sheets I used.
I suggest using a pencil because with the amount of writing you will do the ink will be waisted whereas a pencil just needs to be sharpened every so often.
Most important thing to remember is to make sure you start off learning the correct sentence because once its glued in your brain it ain't budging if its wrong.
When you've filled up a sheet don't forget to recycle it or shred it and use for litter for your cat or rabbit.
Good luck, Slàn!
