Flipped Learning Revision grids: These grids have been designed as a way for you to start getting on top of all the information and to stop it being so overwhelming by the end of the two years. This is a valuable tool for revision and is a backup to any work that might get lost over the next two years. Their completion is essential and you will asked to submit them electronically throughout the year to be checked and ensure they are completed with as much detail as possible. Your Task: You have each been given a copy of the America Revision grid with the subheadings of what needs to go in each of the different sections. You will need to create your own version of revision grid and complete it up to and including Nullification Crisis. You should input ALL the information you have collected so far (i.e. ALL your notes from the lessons and any additional work) The grids should have now been emailed across. Try to show an example of one if possible.
