Now I Remember

The method that I used to memorize the poem "Richard Cory" was taking it apart paragraph by paragraph. I'd memorize the first paragraph and repeat it about 2-3 times. After I'd have it down I would move onto the second para. and go back to the first and put what I knew together. So my steps were technically just read, repeat, review, read, repeat, review, etc. I tried the mirror, it didn't help me. Writing it down also didn't help, neither did recording myself and hearing it after. But well it's different for everyone.
