My Newly Established Method Of kNowing Information Creatively
(MNEMONIC)
A mnemonic is a tool that aids in memory. To demonstrate this, we took the word 'mnemonic' and turned it into a mnemonic! Mnemonics are a wonderfully easy way to remember information, whether it's the names of the great lakes or an important date in history. Below are 12 surefire links to ready-made mnemonics to help you create and use mnemonics.
