[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most kids don't memorize all the time, but the idea of memorizing one thing a year whether your speech on your project or a poem or the preamble helps you understand how words really matter and just builds that skill of committing information to memory. Just like learning math helps you with problem solving.[/quote] I can memorize anything without understanding it, or wanting to understand it. It means nothing. I knew a particular poem by heart, but I didn't understand any of it until I was an adult because when I was younger, I didn't like poetry. It meant nothing to me. This accomplishes nothing. Math is different where you have building blocks, math knowledge builds on math knowledge. Memorizing a particular poem doesn't help you understand complex text. It will only be helpful if you have to analyze the text, not just memorize it.[/quote]
