I memorize information by repeating it over and over in my head. I think I Have relatives in Winnipeg and in Manitoba and I have not travelled anywhere in Canada out of bc. There is a website that I go in all the time called owl and mouse.com where there are games to help you memorize the provinces and capitals

I like to memorize by reading them over and over until I can easily get them. I do not have any relatives around Canada and I have never gone outside of BC before but I hope I can one day. Bye!

I could memorise them by reading over, or you can test yourself by asking which province is which. I don't have any relatives in Canada.I went to Brazil, USA and Mexico which is outside of Canada.

Well, I could practice by asking my brother to test me because, coincidentally my brother is learning about the provinces too. I would probably use my planner to help me study because it has all the provinces, territories and it's capitals. It also has a map of Canada as well. Most of my dad's family lives in Winnipeg but I have never been to Manitoba. l have been to Alberta this summer, to visit the West Edmonton Mall and the Calgary Stampede. It was really fun. Bye.

I memorize things by pretending I have a mean teacher and he's asking me questions about the things I need to memorize, so you dont want get them wrong then or you'll get punished, so I work on the things I got wrong. I have only once traveled out of bc and within Canada and that was at Alberta.

It is easiest for me to just remember where the province is and then I just know it by looking at a part of the map. I don't have any relatives in Canada other then the ones in B.C, I have only gone to Toronto for a couple hours for a connecting plane flight so I didn't really get to go outside but flying in looked really pretty!

I would make flash cards of the provinces and do them everyday. No all of my Canadian relatives live in B.C. I used to live in Ontario. I've also been to Manitoba.

Some techniques to help me study would be to use my flash cards from grade 2 that are in different colors for a different province. Probably flash cards would works best or sticky notes on a map would help me best because I am a visual learner. My great grandmother lives in Saskatchewan and my dad grew up in Saskatchewan.

Some techniques are to read it over and over or you could write it down and keep writing it down till it is memorized or you can make sentences out of them, eg. Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Orange Monkeys Sing. The technique that is most useful to me is to read it over and over. I have one aunt that lives in Alberta and one cousin that lives in Ontario. Yes, I have lived in Ontario for about one and a half year and visited Alberta.

I like to make songs to memorize things it works for me best because it's a awesome way to make a pattern. My uncle Jeff lives in Winnipeg and we visited them once. I've been to Anaheim to go to Disneyland and that was awesome

What usually works for me is doing a test a few times every day to memorize the provinces and territories and capitals. No I don't have any relatives that live in other parts of Canada nor have been to a different province of Canada i think.

When we studied this unit in grade 3, there was a song my teacher taught me. I don't really remember the song, but I remember that it helped me memorize the capitals of the provinces and territories. Usually a catchy song or poem, even a easy beat or simple tune, helps me understand and memorize things. For example, I'll always remember that a year has 525,600 minutes because the song helps me remember that. I do not have any relatives in other provinces or territories, and I haven't been to a different province in Canada. I've only been to places outside of Canada, notably The States, London (England), Hong Kong, India, Dubai, and Germany. I know a lot of people who travel a lot, like RainbowC from last year. I think it's really cool to be travelling around the world and visiting so many neat places. I also think that I should stop now because I'm getting kind-of off topic. Okay, bye!

I would print out a empty map of Canada and try to write down where each one goes to visualize and remember it. No, I don't have any relatives that live in other parts of Canada but I have reliteves in Slovenia. Umm, I actually don't know if I've been in other parts of Canada. Well, see everyone tomorrow.

My strategy for memorizing is to keep repeating them in my head or have someone test me on them until I get them all right.My uncle lives in Calgary.I have been to Calgary and when I was really little I went to Montreal.

You can look at a map at home or anywhere at least then you can look at that everyday until you memorize it. Whenn I research I always look up the one thing I need then I wright it down on a piece of papers. I do not have relatives in any other province/territory. I did not ever go out of B.C I only traveled to the United States.
