Our TRIO word of the week is mnemonic. Mnemonic
means assisting or intended to assist memory or a technique of improving
memory. One can easily use mnemonic as a memory tool for
instance to learn the order of planets orbiting the Sun the mnemonic
device is to say My Very Easy Method Just Speed Up Naming Planets for Mercury, Venus,
Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
So when studying create your own mnemonic to enable you to
recall a list of things for upcoming tests. If the spelling of mnemonic strikes you as
particularly odd just remember, keep this mnemonic in mind: although the word's pronunciation begins
with an n sound, the
spelling begins with an m,
as in memory.
