I love mnemonics!! While teaching 5th grade, I had the class make up a mnemonic sentence to remember words they misspelled—then draw a picture to illustrate it. Resulted in many original, amusing pictures! One of my faves was “Tom eats rotten rats on rye” for terror. The drawing was one to remember!😀
