    I memorize faster when I see something over and over. An example is to memorize The Preamble I printed out five - six copies of The Preamble and posted it all over the house. I think memorizing The Preamble was a good thing because we didn't have to memorize the whole Constitution, and The Preamble basically summarizes The Constitution. I personally enjoyed memorizing The Preamble, it was neat.

    i memorize things by writing them out, or singing them. sometimes even just talking them out.you want us to memorize this so we know kind of what the constitution is about without having to read the entire constitution.

    For me if I want to memorize things i just take time learning it. If it is like a really long word that is on a spelling test i read the letters first then cover it right it down. Then i check my spelling and the i cover up the word a spell it out loud. But if it is like something like a answer to a test i just try to pay attion and study it. I memorize this because it helps me out when I do it.

    I memorize things by first reading it, and then trying to say it in my mind without looking at the words. If this doesn't work I read aloud the thing I want to memorize. This helps because I can hear myself say it. The Preamble that we had to memorize had an optional song to reference to. This helped me because I it was catchy. The Preamble is something we should memorize because it talks about how we, as American citizens need to do as said in the constitution. We do this to make the country a better place.

    no, I have not memorized the entire thing but most of it. i memorize thing by making them in to a tune. I think you want us to memorize this because we will probably need to know parts of the preamble for a test.

    When I memorize things I usually like to write it out as I say it. Either that or I repeat it over and over and over until I remember it. While memorizing the preamble I went and sat on the floor in my room at about 9 o'clock and read it and repeated it for 10 minutes. And now I remember it! I think that we are memorizing the preamble because it tells of all the basic rights that we as U.S. citizens are entitled to. These things are guarenteed and are some of the basic "rules".

    I memorize things by just repeadly saying it in my head or outloud. Something I will wright it down, a good way to memorize things. Why you want us to memorize the preamble. So we understand our country better. The Consitution holds hinden information inside of it that tells the United States promises to the citizens of this country.

    My tip for memorizing things is just keep reading over the content our keep practicing a concept by writing it down. I thing you want us to memorize the preamble because it is a summary of the rules that everybody in the United Sates of America follow.

    I really don't have a way to memorize stuff. I really need to find a way to memorize though because I am horrible at it!!! I think that you wanted us to memorize it because it explained the consitution in a couple of sentences and it would take us a long time to memorize the whole consitution.

    I memorize things by sort of singing them all the time or just reading them alot. A tip that could be useful is that just sing it over or listen to it a bunch of times 'til you can't get it out of your headddd!!!(:
    You want us to memorize the Preamble because it explains the the unity of our contry.

    I remember things by making flashcards. The process of writing down all the answers on the cards helps me memorize what I need to know. I also like to go over what I need to remember with my mom. She goes over it with me until it sticks in my head. I think we need to memorize the preamble because it sums up what the constitution says and it tells us the main points that our constitution is based on.

    What helps me memorize anything is if it has a catchy phrase or tune that will help me sing along with it. Or I will just read over and over and over until I have memorized it. I have worked and succeeded in memorizing the preamble, I think that you would like us to memorize this because it is apart of America's Constitution and history.

    To be honest I have short term memory loss or somthing becuase I dont remember half my day! The only way I remembered the preamble is because it was in song form. I really have no tips to memorize things Id like to learn some though......You wanted us to memorize this because it is a important thing to the US and it would be good to know. Also its good to have all of those things memorized so you can live that way!

    memorizing the preamble wasn't as hard as i thought. when you listen to the song multiple times it gets stuck in your head like any other song. saying it in front of people is probably the only difficult part. but when you say it, it comes to you and you get it right.

    In my opinion, memorizing the preamble was very easy. I would re type it on the computer, then print it out. I practiced one line at a time, until i remembered that line. Then i would go on to the next line, and remember that. Then restate all the lines that I've remembered. It was an easy method for me.

    I memorize things by listening and saying them alot, so they stick in my brain, so I remember. I guess.

    I read whatever it is twice then keep repeating the phrase out loud. I do that a couple of times till i can just repeat without really thinking.

    For memerizing things i just read what I'm memerizing. Sometimes I listen to a recording of what I'm memerizing to help me, like with the preamble. I think you wanted us to memerize the preambl because it is our nationsconstitution basically summarized in a long sentance.

    when i have to memorize something, all i do is just say it over and over in my head. sometimes, if there's a tune for it, I just play it in my head too.
    I think you shouldd memorize the preamble because it tells the basic principles of our country.

    I have been memorizing the preamble. The way i memorize things is that i say them over and over and over again in my head. Or i sing it to like a catchy tune.I don't really have any advice for anyone because flashcards, in this scenario, don't really apply.I think that we have to memorize the preamble because it is kind of the sum up of the whole Constitution-and we need to know this forever.-Wendy
