Understanding
Visualize is to imagine, or to paint a picture of something in your mind, or to make something visible
Example:We can dramatized the important incidents of history by involving the students, which will help them to remember the small details of the incidents.
Visualizing
The ability to learn, judge or make decisions.
Rhyming Students are interested in listening rhymes, so this technique
can be applied to make them remember history facts easily.
Story TellingExample:In order to explain the path of River Indus, we can use the technique of story telling. We can tell different stories about the caliphs and kings.
AcronymAn acronym is an abbreviation formed from the initial components in a phrase or a word. Acronyms can be very helpful in learning long phrases because they are easier to write and remember.Examples:1. DIY: Do It Yourself2. BC: Before Crist3. NASA: National Aeronautical and Space Administration
History facts can also be remembered by making sentences. For example:Baap Hamara Akber Jaan se Aziz
