My Memory Theatre Methods

50 Places to see before you die...I chose this list of places because I am so passionate about traveling. Unfortunately, the past few years my traveling has decreased due to the college life and debt.

The way I remembered the 50 items was very similar to other classmates. Connecting the place to an image in some way. My memory theatre was my walk downtown. I walk downtown often and so that was most familiar to me and seemed easiest to relate places to. I started at campus- the north hedges suites and moved through campus down College to 8th and worked my way downtown to Tracy.

For example, Safeway was Victoria Falls because I pictured my friend Victoria and I walking to safeway and her falling. The stream on campus was Florida...pictured being surrounded by water. I simply associated people, memories or used alliteration to remember these places. It was easy to picture my self in these places on the list through my walk downtown.

To remember I repeated the places outloud, walked through it in my head over and over, then also wrote them down. Writing things down over and over is one way that I find helpful.
