Another example

Non-original mnemonic
A non-original component to help remember it (something you found on the Web or in a book) – pictures, videos, drawings, infographics, audio clip, music, etc.
Original mnemonic
Create something! Make your own way to remember this device. In addition to the ideas listed for the non-original mnemonic, you might write a line or a poem (e.g. “I before E except after C,” use the term’s etymology or root word, use sign language, etc. Whatever you create, post it here in a way that will be easy for your classmates to understand.
Other resources
This is not a requirement, but if you find other things to add, please do so!
Note: Artwork, links to additional explanations, etc. are welcome in other parts of the entry as well.

I will return it to you with comments by Friday of that week, and you will need to complete the remaining elements of the post (photo, another example, mnemonics, other resources) and post everything by the time you are scheduled to present.
