There are also spelling mnemonics, such as:
Big
Elephants
Can
Always
Understand
Small
Elephants
Mnemonics you have spent time inventing yourself are usually the most effective, but here is one suggestion for a framework for textual analysis (thanks to Viv Wood, who suggested this for Lang/Lit unit 6):
Mode
Audience
Register
Values
Evaluation of Effects
Literary & Linguistic features
In this case, the cue word reminds you of the concepts you need to use, whereas in a spelling mnemonic, the sentence reminds you of the word.
