Mnemonics+List

toc Below is a list of the major mnemonics we've come up with as a wiki. Smaller ones can be found on individual vocabulary pages, but these ones reach across more than one vocabulary page. Each mnemonic is it's own page, which allows it to be added to a relevant vocabulary page as a link.

=What Is a mnemonic?= Mnemonics (along with analogies) are the most critical part of a vocabulary page, because they will help students learn about the topic and retain what they learn. Mnemonics are memory tricks that help you: Mnemonics are **NOT** merely acrostic poems. Writing: does not help anyone learn about what "ABUSE" is. You could, however, remember the forms of coercive control used in abusive relationships by remembering VISA PI:
 * 1) connect a vocabulary word with it's definition
 * 2) connect multiple words into a list.
 * A**llowing
 * B**eatings
 * U**sually
 * S**urprises
 * E**veryone


 * V**-Verbal threats
 * I**-Isolation
 * S**-Surveillance
 * A**-Assault
 * P**-Punishment
 * I**-Intimidation

To make a mnemonic:

 * 1) Select a subject page that is missing a mnemonic.
 * 2) Decide whether it should connect the word to the definition, another fact, or perhaps the order of a list.
 * 3) Create a mnemonic that establishes the connection. See the list below for ideas.
 * 4) Write your mnemonic on the subject page in the Mnemonics section.
 * 5) Save the page.
