Year 8 Study Skills Objectives Improving your organisational skills Practical techniques to boost your learning

Barriers to Your Learning A barrier to your learning is anything that prevents you from giving your best when you in a lesson, doing your homework or revising. Once you identify what the barriers to your learning are, you can make a plan on how to overcome those barriers. Some barriers may include: Not concentrating in a lesson Not doing your homework properly Not listening to instructions Not getting enough sleep Not having the equipment you need

Pupil Activity What are the barriers to your learning? - what stops you working well in class and doing homework. Silence and then what can you do differently in pairs? ( Think/pair/share) By end of this lesson you will have solutions!

What techniques can we use to boost our learning? Improving your organisation Mind mapping Pomodoro Technique Metacognition Response to feedback-green pen Review Every Day Revise over time - not just the night before Be resilient and determined to learn and succeed

The Organisation Cycle Preparing for school – have I got everything I need? Have I got all the equipment I need? (pens, pencil, ruler, books, planner, PE kit) Using my planner (timetable, logins/passwords, notes home, homework) Show My Homework Completing homework (routine, best environment for you) Preparing for school – cycle begins again

Ask Your Partner You will now discuss your daily routine for homework and preparing for school with your partner. What do you think works well for you? What could you improve? After listening to your partner is there any advice you could give to them?

Show My Homework Use your planner with SMHW Check every night Plan what homework is being done Every day and week review your learning

The steps to implementing the Pomodoro Technique Time Management Pomodoro Technique The steps to implementing the Pomodoro Technique Have your planner and equipment on the desk Make a list of tasks/ homework to be done Decide on the first task to be done Set the Pomodoro timer to 25 minutes Work on the task until the timer rings Take a short break of 5 minutes, have a drink or a snack Set the Pomodoro timer to 25 minutes again and complete another task Why is time management important?

Pomodoro Timer App

Benefits of Mind Maps A mind map is a brilliant tool for revision. Colour and flow make it much easier to read than pages of pages of text. A mind map makes it much easier when you have to write an essay or long writing pieces Once you have a structure, you can mind map to include all of the details you need. Then, you can write up the essay based on your mind map! There is no right or wrong with a mind map – it is all about what is right for each individual.

Example of mind map

Activity You are now going to create a Mind Map based on what you have learned so far in your different subjects from the start of Year 8. You will do this activity using the Pomodoro technique. Pay attention to the example being presented!

Other Techniques Revision Cards Post it notes around your room Oral learning/ testing at home Use your text book/revision guide/exercise book

Metacognition: thinking about thinking In order for you to progress in your learning you need to be aware of how you learn. This is important as when you know how you learn best – once you know this you can boost your learning. What are the advantages? Video link on image

Support in school Ask your teacher immediately for help You can get equipment such as pens, pencils, rulers and rubbers from the library Use of resources in school such as the library, computers, printing can be paid for. Talk to your form tutor or HOY or Mrs Livesey

You do the work! Be resilient and work hard to succeed Get organised Manage your time effectively Response to feedback - green pen Revise over time

Plenary At the beginning of the session we talked about the barriers to your learning. What are the barriers to your learning? What have you learned from today’s session? What will you now do differently? How can you eliminate any barriers in order to ensure that you make your studies a success.
