1. Session: Revision strategies How should you revise?

2. Visual? Auditory? Kinesthetic?
Before we discuss revision strategies you must try to identify what type of learner you are…
Visual?
Auditory?
Kinesthetic?  

3. Briefly talk through each learning type as a follow up from clip.

6. 1 – mindmap
2 – flash cards – pick out key points from topic, info on one side and quiz questions on the other?
3 – Highlighting books/notes – importance of colour coding
4 – Post-it notes – stick around the house in places you are forced to read them
5 – Past papers/plan exam answers
6 – buy yourself a white board and test yourself/plan answers under timed conditions (bullet point key ideas)
7 – Create quizzes and test each other

7. 1-40 on jenga blocks and then you could create lots of different questions relating to different subject (i.e. one set of questions for English/another set for Science etc.)
OR.. Could write Maths problems or questions on each jenga block and only get to take the block off if they answer the question correctly – could introduce your own rules.

8. MONOPOLY
Print out a board template from the internet then create your own board rules, chance and community chest cards.
Rules and question cards could focus on a whole subject or a topic?
Best to create and play in small groups!
Could be a group activity – one writes the boards and others write questions?

9. OR…
Take an existing monopoly board, keep the rules and squares the same but change the community chest and chance cards?
You could also include a rule that you must correctly answer a revision question in order to collect 200 as you pass go!
PE question cards used on a current monopoly board.

10. SNAKES AND LADDERS
Print out a board template (or create your own!) and add your own rules/questions.
Rules could focus on a whole subject or topic?
All you then need is dice and counters – best to play in a small group.

11. Higher the numbers go the more difficult the questions get/command words of questions.
P.E. revision examples…
Make sure your questions get more challenging the higher up the board you go, consider the command words for your questions (i.e. name/list/identify is going to be an easier type of question to answer than an explain/evaluate).

12. The Cube Create a cube using the template. Leave the lid open.
On each side of the cube write a key word and definition from a chosen topic.
Create some revision questions on coloured card. Green card for easier questions, amber for medium difficulty questions and red for very difficult questions. Place them inside the cube.
Pick out the questions and answer them.
Or someone else can pick them out for you.

13. ACROSTIC POEMS
Use to revise key words, concepts, topics, key individuals.
It may be useful to help you remember key points and quotes for poems in your English Anthology.
Could be useful to help revise poetry in English? And Key words

14. PAPER DOLL CHAIN Create your own paper doll chain.
Fill each paper doll with information, symbols and images linked to a key individual you need to revise (i.e. Alexander Fleming, Louis Pasteur).
You could write content on one side and questions on the other side?
Hang your chain somewhere up high where you will read it and test yourself!

15. Revision Chips
Resources – red cardboard and yellow lolly sticks. Template given – see next slide.

16. Templates for the chip carton
Templates for the chip carton. We don’t need to show the students these as such. Print some out on white paper and then they draw around them on red card and cut out. Either glue or sellotape together. The heart one is just for fun.
