Eyes or Ears

By: Sydney Brochu, Quinn Beek and Henry Thompson

Do Eyes or Ears have it?All five senses turn into memory. For some people visual memory is better then auditory memory.• Or the other way around, Both are very important. • If you couldn’t remember what people look like, you couldn’t

be able to remember your friends, family, pets and places.• Then if you couldn’t remember what you heard you couldn’t

remember rules, what your teacher says and instructs you to do.

We think

• We believe that visual is better because if

don’t remember what your family or friends

looks like, where you live.

• Life would be confusing
