Clock Sequence
A way of connecting key points tp an idea or mental picture that is already familiar to you. For
example a clock face can help you sequence key ideas. You don’t have to have twelve items. It’s
the thought that counts. You can remember different parts of the topic as hours on the clock.

Annotation
Dulce et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen
(14) As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. In all
my dreams, before my hapless sight
(16) He plunges at me, guttering, choking,
drowning
(23)…, bitter as the cud of vile, incurable sores on
innocent tongues
(11) But someone still
was yelling out and
stumbling
(9) Gas ! Gas! Quick boys! - An ecstasy
of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy
helmets just in time;
(7) …; deaf even to the hoots of tired outstripped
Five-Nines that dropped behind
(19) And watch the white eyes
writhing in his face, his hanging
face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
(3) Till on the haunting flames we turned our backs
(21) If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
come gurgling from the froth-corrupted lungs
(2) Knock-kneed , coughing like hags, we cursed
through sludge,
(17) If in some smothering dreams you
too could pace
(5)... Many had lost their boots, But
limped on, blood-shot. All went lame; all
blind;
(27) The old lie : Dulce et Decorum est Pro Patria Mori
