[quote=Anonymous]I had a fifth grade teacher who required us to learn a poem a week. I don't recall them all, but i remember parts of them clearly. I think it helped me appreciate literature (these were not child's poems) and helped me memorize material in later studies. It also was an exercise to stand up and repeat it. Later, I think a history teacher required the Gettysburg address. A lit teacher had us memorize part of Canterbury Tales. I think it is quite helpful to have to do this. The most difficult memorization, however, was the chemistry teacher who had us memorize the Periodic Table. Honestly, those were some of the best teachers I had. And, memorizing does not prevent you from learning to think critically. It is just another learning tool.[/quote]
