THere are many way to rember things. Diffrent people memorize diffrent ways. One way is to repeat it about 6 times, this may seem like a lot of work,but it will definattly pay off. Another way is to write it over and over again. Or just take a few hours and study!!

Hope I helped...

well, if its in lines, or something. do a few at a time.

ex:
memorize the first 3 or 4 lines. go over them a bunch, until you've got it down, then add a line, until youve got it down, then add a line,

ect.


Hope I Helped-

If you like to sing or something, try making a rap, poem, or song about it. Make it so that its simple, short, and easy to memorize. I hope I helped, it usually works for me and my friends ;]

I think you should get notecards and just keep reading it in front of a mirror over and over again until you memorize it. Or just write it on the back of your hand

Do you have a friend in the class you could practice with and help each other? Or someone at home willing to help you practice?

Flash cards are great. So is memorizing line by line. Another idea- make a flashcard that gives hints only for the first letters of some words.

Write the sonnet over and over. Write it as it's read to you, or copy it from a printed version. Or have someone give you the first part of the line and you finish the rest.

Just repeat a few lines over and over (and repeat the process) until you are able to say all of it.
Hope I helped!

Work on it piece by piece. Just memorize one or two lines really well. Then add another section and memorize it along with the first part, etc.. Then once you think you might have it, ask someone to listen to you and correct any mistakes you might have. If you need any more help, just send me a message. ♥ Kristen

this is how i do it! doesn't a sonnet have 14 lines? i think it does...but anyways what i'd do is memorize the first 2. just say em over and over and over. then when u got those practice saying the 3rd and 4th lines by themselves. when u have the 3rd and 4th memorized put the 1st, 2nd, third and forth together. then do the 5th and 6th then put them with the first four. and so on and so forth!
i hope i helped! good luck!
