Sometimes when you have a lot of information to remember when telling a story, I find mnemonics to be a useful tool to remember events in sequence. I recently wrote a children’s book titled hopscotch to ten wonders of the world. In this story I have children visiting the seven man-made wonders of the world, but in previous drafts I had the locations in a random sequence. In my updated version I rearrange the sequence the numbers could give me a visual image of each location. As a result my presentation story flows more smoothly

1. Machu Picchu, is memorized.
2. The number two kind of looks like elephant, which leads me to the Taj Mahal, India.
3. Can look like repelling off steep sandstone cliffs, which leads me to the building of Petra Jordan.
4. Might be seen. Scaffolding used in the construction of a wall with leads me to The Great Wall of China.
5. The half circle on the number could be seen as part of the time which leads us to Chichen Itza.
6. Six reminds me of circling slide which leads me to The Coliseum of Rome Italy.
7. Could be connected to the list, but 98 foot statue in Visio to honor Christ the Redeemer.

Now you need to do is practice the story.
