Revision plan MonTuesWedThurFriSatSun – – Make a revision plan…..

Eat and Drink right. Good food = Brain food

Timing & Interest Effective revision should be done in short bursts with plenty of breaks. After 20 minutes revision the brain starts to work with less efficiency. It is advised that revision should consist of 20 minute focused revision followed by 10 minutes break. Then another 20 minutes. Revision should also be made ‘interesting’ (?!). You will always remember things more effectively if they stand out. Try the following memory test of Household implements and see which ones you remember.

Timing & Interest Kettle Couch Lamp Rug Bed Table Leonardo da Vinci Mona Lisa Television Curtains Bath Mug Spoon Dishcloth Toothbrush Washing Machine Microwave Coffee Table Computer Mantlepiece Knife Read out the following list of household objects. Warn the participants after ‘Washing Machine’ there are 5 to go

K C L R B T L T C B M S D T W M C C M K Pupils now have 2 minutes to write down as many as they can remember. Plot the responses on the graph through a show of hands

Hopefully the most remembered objects should be the 1 st, 7 th, 15 th and 20 th objects. If so this shows that effective revision occurs at the start of the time, when something is made to stand out (Leanardo Da Vinci – Mona Lisa), and towards the end of the revision time. Revision should be in short bursts to maximise the amount of ‘starts’ and ‘ends’.

2.Run, See, Explain

Get into groups Decide on a running order – 1 st, 2 nd, 3 rd etc. Come out in turn to look at the diagram of Housing problems at the front. Go back to your group and describe as accurately as possible the diagram you have just seen. Look for shapes, space, colours, writing, position etc. Each person gets 2 goes each

The Revision Room Picture your bedroom. Or a scene you know well. Landscape, town, walk etc. Now pick a revision topic…….Reasons why MNC’s relocate to LEDC’s. Allocate an object/feature of your room to a part of the subject. Bed = Name of a MNC Desk = Name of a LEDC Television = Cheaper Labour Computer = Government Incentives Wardrobe = Cheaper Raw Materials Geography Club Poster = Good communications Now visualise the room when trying to answer the following question. ‘Explain why MNC’s have located in LEDC’s during the past 25 years’

The Face Read the question and highlight or underline the key things it wants you to do. Look at how many marks are available and structure your answer around it. To what extent do government grants influence the location of Industry in the UK?
