@rulerlesscasey: Replying to @Ginde This poem has given me some morbid satisfaction in these tough times. I decided to take a few minutes to memorize it. #backchaining #productivitytips #memorizationtechniques #percybyssheshelley #thistooshallpass
I’ve never heard of ozymandias before, and this is the 3rd time I’ve heard of it in 3 days. Really weird!

This is a beautiful explanation of backwards chaining - a procedure discovered by applied behavior analysis (ABA). I often used this method to teach kids their phone number

So is the idea that this works better than learning forward because you’re going from unmemorized to memorized instead of vice versa? Such that you’re guaranteed to say the part you don’t know each time?

I used to memorize all the Epic Rap Battles of History as an autistic child and I didn't realize how much of it was working backwards (or forwards) from the parts of the battles I remembered until I had the whole thing

I love this poem but had gaps in my memory before this! It’s amazing how memorizing a poem makes you appreciate each word choice more - I kept getting “frown, and wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command” in the wrong order until I realized how deliberately each item in the tricolon gathers momentum. Bravo!

I memorized Romeo’s balcony scene through movement. Afterwards I didn’t had to play out the scene to recite it.

This has been my favorite poem for 30 years. I have lines in memory but not the whole thing. I’ll try this!

I played in a community orchestra several years ago and the conductor backchained a piece that was particularly challenging. I figured out what he was doing and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

I recited this poem for a poetry class assignment in college and listened to Bryan Cranston performing it to study 🖤

What I do is black out words I'm confident in. That helps preserve words like articles. And you read the whole poem over and black out what you know
