I am trying to memorize the presidents, the years they served and their parties for AP US History. As it turns out, there're a lot of different ways to memorize information. Here're a few all-encompassing mnemonics that I thought were funny:
1. Which Angel Jumped Marilyn Monroe After Joe Vanished?
2. Heavy Tanks Pushed The French Past British Lines.
3. John Glenn Helps Giant Aliens Catch Hairy Cats.
4. Monica Runs Through White House Carrying Hillary's Report.
5. The Evil King Jogs Nude For "Cool" Recreation.
Sentence cue: White House Janitor Mops The Bathroom
Also, you can use image-association. For a good explanation, go here. The way it works is, you assign each piece of information a memorably odd image and then link them together chronologically. For the dates, you can use something they call pseudonumerology. It almost makes sense.
