MEMORY MAN
On the first day of summer school a man called John Fewings came in and taught us some memory skills. This page is about what he taught us.
One of the things he taught us was counting to ten in Japanese and he told us a story to help us remeber it: One hot summers day I had an ICHE (itchy) NEE (knee) because of the SAN(sun). SHI (she) will GO (go) behind the ROCKU (Rocka) because I got a cold and sneezed like SCHICHU and I got loads of snot on my hands so I wiped it on my HATCHI where a pigeon was sitting and it flew away. It went COO and then landed on a the head of a DU (Jew).

| 5 -Go | 6-Rocku |

We then came up with 20 items at random and we had to remeber them. Underneath we have the numbers, the actions and the items.
