The best way to memorize a long list is by using a memory trick like making an anagram or "silly sentence." Write the amendments in order. Take the most important word from each one - for example, Freedom for "freedom of religion, speech, the press, and to petition" and Bear Arms for "the right to keep and bear arms."Once you have decided on the main word that you will be able to remember best for each sentence, take the first letter of each of those words and write them down the page, one letter for each line.Now, make up another word that starts with each letter - the goal is to make a silly sentence that you can remember easily, but which will remind you of the first letter of each word you are trying to memorize!

Grouping or "Chunking" is when you divide a lot of information down into smaller bits that are easier to remember. It is a good way to memorize large amounts of data.Here are some ideas:Split large groups of numbers or letters into groups of three-fourGroup things that are similar together to help remember themSplit the information into groups or categories, and make an outline - then, memorize each "heading" one at a time, and soon you will have all of itExample:You have a list of words you need to learn, and you want to use the first letter of each word to help you memorize them, but you can't think of any "silly sentences" to help:TWANBACBSCPRCIATry dividing this long "word" into groups:TWA NBA CBS CPR CIAWow! Now it will be easy to remember each group!
If you want to memorize it, chunk it into small parts and memorize a small part at a time. You can help yourself by writing the first letter or some representative symbol of each chunk on a card and memorize the chunk that goes with each symbol or letter. Eventually, you can get rid of the symbols because you will remember the symbols and the chunks that go with them.If you want to learn the content, write questions about the content and compose your own answers.Another technique that can work very well is this: In private, imagine there is a younger student in the room that must learn this passage. Pretend you are teaching the passage to them. Go over and over it with them, remembering that YOU are the teacher. This is a very effective way to learn a passage that must be memorized.
