Memorization is CALMING. How lovely it is to recite a poem, prayer or mantra (in my head or out loud). It relaxes the tension in my body.

Memorization is also part of the process of internalizing knowledge.

Thank you to Caren for reciting her poem, not only was the recitation spectacular, but you made me think outside the box about how to recite poetry. This will help me with my student teaching!
