What are good strategies to memorize Shakespeare?
I am helping my brother memorize it for drama. He needs to memorize sonnet 61. I need strategies for him. He keeps blanking out. Please help me. Thank you so much!
Memorising a sonnet is quick work if you do it right.
Have your brother write out the sonnet, dividing it up into sections – the first stanza (4 lines), then the next (4 lines), then the next (4 lines), then the closing couplet. Tell him to go somewhere where he can be alone and talk out loud, and sit the paper on a table or bed – somewhere he can get to it. He needs to look at the first line or two, and repeat them out loud – just walk around the room, standing up straight and looking out (not at the floor) and moving his arms around, and repeat the first line or two over and over. Sonnets are in iambic pentameter, so there’s a rhythm to them – have him get the rhythm down. Don’t sing, because that’s hard to drop, but maybe rap it a touch, or change pitch on words he finds he has trouble remembering. When he has the first line or two, add more of the first stanza until he has it all. (This will give him two rhymes – ABAB – so it should be easy to remember.) He’ll need to say that one over and over until he’s sure he has it.
Once the first stanza is down, repeat the process with the second. Then, try to say the first and second together.
When they’re down, add the third. Try to say them all together.
When they’re down, add the last couplet. Try to say them all together.
After he’s mostly memorised the whole thing, have him switch it up – try to say the second stanze, then the third, then the couplet, then the first. Or try to say the first, third, second stanzas, then the couplet. Saying them out of order will make sure he gets each thought and really knows the material, and keep him from rehearsing the first stanza a whole lot more than the rest of it.
You’ll know the sonnet by now, especially with the rhythm as a helper. Over the next while, say the sonnet whenever you can – in the shower, driving, standing in line, doing laundry – without the exaggerated rhythm.
This sounds like a really long, involved process, but it only takes an hour or two. Rehearsing while standing and moving helps him to develop muscle memory that will make him look good when presenting, too – his body will associate standing up straight and looking ahead with the sonnet, and he won’t be trapped into folding his hands, putting them in his pockets, etc.
Best of luck!
What were the strategies used by the central and allied powers during the World wars?
I’m currently doing a research paper and it includes the strategies used by the powers mentioned above please please help me 
to winky the question is to those people who know something central powers is for WW1 and allied powers is for WW2 i need them both but thanks for dropping by
I. World War I (The Great War)
A. Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Ottoman Empire)
When the war broke out, Germany had to face their enemies in the East and West. Their strategy in the West was known as the Schlieffen Plan. In a nutshell, the plan was to use nearly all of Germany’s Army to swiftly take France by going through Belgium and Luxembourg. Meanwhile a small portion of the Army would defend against the Russians on the Eastern Front. Shockingly, the underwhelming Belgian Army held their own against Germany for as long as possible but eventually were defeated. As this was occurring, Germany directly attacked France through the Ardennes Forest and the Lorraine region. This allowed the British Expeditionary Force to mobilize and from there, the war on the Western Front was a brutal stalemate. This was the beginning of Trench Warfare in the Great War. As a result of the stalemate, Germany could send more troops to the East, where they went of the Offensive against the Russians, with the assistance of Austria-Hungary. The Central Powers simply crushed the Russians. On the Balkan Front, the stalemate was no better, the Serbian and Greek Armies fought valiantly and maintained control of their ground, as did the Italians. No Ottoman soldiers walked amongst the battleground of Europe, but fought the British in their Mesopotamian Campaign. The Ottoman’s also defended their soil in the Gallipoli Campaign, in which the Allies landed on the Gallipoli coast, and were defeated.
B. Allied Powers (France, Great Britain, Russia, United States, Serbia, Greece, Italy)
The Allied plan in the west was simple: Take the enemy trench. Throughout the Trench War in the West the Allies committed to many offensives, only to lose thousands of men to gain little ground. The Somme Offensive lost 50,000 British soldiers in the first two hours. The Russians on the Eastern Front, however, experienced quite a bit of success in the early battles, catching a undersized Prussian force napping when they invaded Eastern Prussia. However the Russians victories quickly turned into defeats. After the Germany committed more troops to the Eastern Front, they began pushing the Russians back. At the Battle of Tannenburg, one Million soldiers perished. Soon after the Russian government collapsed and withdrawed from the war, signed a Peace Treaty with the Central Powers, and resulted in the Russian Revolution. The Serbian, Greek, and Italian Armies never really went on the Offensive but held their ground, which is surprising seeing that they were surrounded by the Austro-Hungarians in the North and the Bulgarians and Ottomans in the South. But they did hold until the end of the war.
II. World War II (The Second Great War)
A. Axis Powers (Germany, Italy, Japan)
World War II started when the Germany invaded Poland on September 1st, 1939. Because of the invasion, Great Britain and France declared war on Germany, therefore Italy and Japan declared war the Great Britain and France as well. The German invasion was swift and lasted only a few a weeks. In the Spring of 1940, Germany invaded Belgium and France through the Ardennes Forest and the Lorraine region, just as they had in World War I. The Belgian Army was quickly dismantled and, despite the early success of the French Army at the Meuse River, raced to Paris. At the time the British Expeditionary Force was pushed back into Dunkirk and was beseiged. They withdrew their forces and Germany then focused on Russia. Operation Barbarossa kicked off and again, Germany, using their Blitzkreig tactics, swept through Russia and crept on Moscow as the Russian Winter set in. This ultimately led to German defeat in the East. The German strategy in Africa was to hold their ground. After the Allies landed at Normandy in [June 6] 1944, Germany was constantly on the run until a bold move was made in the winter of 1944-1945. The Ardenne Offensive started on December 16, 1944. For the most part, the Allied forces held the Germans but the German 2nd Panzer Division penetrated very far but further than everyone else, thus the battle became known as the Battle of the Bulge. The offensive failed and the Western Allies pushed into Germany. Germany then lost. The Italian Army during World War II fought mainly in Africa and the Sicilian/Italian Campaigns. The Italians achieved victory at Tobruk, under Rommel. Afterward the were constantly in retreat. Japanese strategy during World War II was simple. Japan built their empire and took many British, French, and some American colonial and militarial establishments in the Pacific. After bringing the United States into the war with the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Japanese were destined for defeat. Then their strategy was simple, fight to the death.
B. Allied Powers (United States, Great Britain, France, Russia, Canada)
On the outset of the German invasion of France, the British and French Armies felt they were strong enough to halt the Ge
What were some strategies during the middle ages?
i have a social studies project for which i have to make a castle display and for it my topic is battles during the middle ages. well what my question is what were some strategies at the time? like the battering ram to break down gates, and fiery arrows to burn the catsle down and also the ladder to clim up and raid from the top. what were some other ones?
They would also pour boiling liquid, most often oil, down on the attackers from the castle ramparts. This would burn them but also seem to cling to their skin, increasing the agony and making the attackers more terrified to attack. The attackers of a castle or fort also used towers to mount the walls. Many soldiers could be crammed inside and it had wheels on the bottom to push it to the castle walls. Once against the walls a gate at the top of the tower was released and the soldiers could all pour out onto the top of the walls.
A siege technique attackers of a castle or fort would sometimes use was, although gruesome, very effective. They would set up a catapult, and load it with dead horses that had been killed in battle. They would then fire the bodies over the walls and within a few hours or days the bodies began to rot, causing disease within the walls and obviously an awful smell. For an extra terror effect sometimes bodies or often heads of the defenders’ soldiers were fired back over the walls to strike fear into them. Trebuchets were huge catapults used usually to fire huge boulders at walls although were occasionally used against large armies and they could fire a long distance.
On the battlefield there were often not very much strategies but infact a bloodbath of both armies meeting and fighting in close quarters. Archers were often used tactically to demoralise the enemy, as well as terror units such as axeman who could cleave a man and horse in two with one blow.
Cavalry were used to break enemy ranks and also to confuse and frighten the enemy soldiers.
I hope I was of help

What are some strategies to help enhance this baby’s development?
I am currently providing services to a baby who is almost two years old. He doesn’t have language or speech yet and he has a very short attention span (easily distracted). He doesn’t really stay with one toy or item too long, opting to move around instead. The baby is not usually responsive either. His parents are worried and I would like to do my best to help them. What are some good strategies or suggestions?
it sounds like he may be autistic. i hope not but you can try food, and this will sound bad but kind of like training a puppy witch also has short attention span. use his favorite snack to get him to look at you start of for a couple seconds then keep it for longer befor you giv it to him. but just remember that alot of two year olds have very short attention spans.

What strategies should I use for the American Roulette Game?
I want to know, if other players have any useful strategies.
Five Number System strategy
This strategy calls for straight-up inside bets where you get paid 35 to 1 if you win. You will place your bets on five individual numbers. Don\’t forget 0 and 00 are part of the inside numbers you can wager on. Pick any five numbers, they all have the exact same chance of winning. Find a game where the minimum bet is no more than $5 and buy forty $1 chips ($40). If you limit yourself to relatively small stakes you can\’t get badly hurt. With this system you hope to get lucky two consecutive times. Start by placing one chip on each of your five chosen numbers. Repeat this same wager until you win – you have enough chips for eight tries. When the ball comes to rest on one of your numbers, you win 35 chips. Divide the 35 chips over your five number fields, seven on each. If you hit again the pay off will be 7 x 35 = $245. No matter what the outcome, this was your last spin. Smart gamblers know when to quit.
Hope this helps.
