How ‘Active’ learners best retain information From

 Make up flashcards - even the action of producing or making the cards will help ‘active’ learners revise.  Incorporate movement into revision- pace while reading flashcards- listen to podcasts while exercising-  Use post its and actively revise by placing or grouping notes on a wall

 Make up PowerPoint revision presentations and then actively present the information to a parent or study partner.  Practice by ‘doing’- so actually write an essay/plan or practice an experiment or movement.  Peer teaching- working as part of a pair study a topic and teach the main points to a partner. Make up questions for a partner- discuss answers don’t just write them down.
