How can a young person remember the points on a compass:
"Never East Soggy Waffles" of course (North, East, South, West).
Exploring why we use memory tools, the author provides great examples of how mnemonic devices work.
Can you remember the Great Lakes? Think "HOMES" (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior).
How about the world's oceans? Try "I Am A Super Person".
The author explains how to make your own mnemonic devices and provides activities and web sites for further fun!
