Each group of states will give you several ways of memorizing: images, songs, movement, and a mnemonic device (memory trick). You can learn the states and capitals by heart simply by creating a structure in your brain called a schema (schemata = plural). The relationship between states will help you solidify this content in long-term memory. Let's be honest: it's not the fact that you can name all the states and capitals. It's more about having existing background knowledge and then attaching NEW ideas, images, experiences or history TO THAT EXISTING SCHEMA! Yay!

Use more of your brain to learn geography

Here is a bit of backstory and an overview of how the method works. The states were orginally divided up by humans, and the lines sometimes seem meaningful, while other times they seem rather arbitrary. With my method, it does not matter because we will engage MORE of your brain in the process of learning. Multiple modalities means helping the information get into your long-term memory through overlapping of input sources. We will see vivid images, move our bodies in meaningful ways, and use rhyme and music to cement the states into long-term memory forever.

LET'S REVIEW

Here is hoping the method worked for you. Review and determine which states you still need to study!

Thanks for supporting my work.

I believe learning should be free! It makes my heart happy to know that others use my methods to improve their lives. If my work has helped you, I would be honored if you would consider purchasing the set of flashcards I created. They follow the videos and help you quickly review the content. I will always price all of my extras to make them affordable, but I have a dream of saving people and animals, so I need to have a way to make money to fund this dream. Every dollar earned through these sales will be used to support my passion: helping people and animals. I am a wildlife rehabber, and I also foster shelter dogs and help them find their forever homes. My ultimate goal is to raise enough money to build a huge rehabilitation education center in Georgia. I appreciate it so much. You can also make a direct donation to Ruby's Rescues by using the QR code or link below. You da bestest!
