  1. Revision 2014 Make this Easter Holiday count!

  2. Revise with a Study Buddy Gwyneth, I know we have consciously uncoupled but I need help with my GCSE music or there’ll be trouble! Don’t cry Chris, (every teardrop is a waterfall). I’ll come round and fix you with my fantastic revision skills. Choose your study buddy carefully Make sure it is someone you will work with not just chat/play Xbox with Make sure you do the same subject Set time limits and stick to them Make the revision active

  3. Key Word Cards • Make cards of key words/characters/dates/processes. • Write the word on one card • Write the definition/explanation on another identical card • Make a whole pack of cards for each subject. • Carry around and look through them e.g. on a bus, waiting for an appointment • Turn them upside down, spread them out and play the pairs game with them • Get an adult (that you know, never talk to strangers) to test you. They just need to be able to read. Photosynthesis Plant uses light energy to create carbohydrate

  4. Word Clouds • Make a list of words/places/dates/people you need to remember. • Cut and paste them into a word cloud generator e.g. Wordlewww.wordle.net/ • If you want a word to stand out put it in your list more than once. The more times, the more it stands out. Try different shapes. • Print it out and stick it somewhere you’ll see it. The back of the bathroom door!

  5. Make a poster • Get a celebrity magazine or supplement. • Cut out peoples heads. Stick them to your poster. • Add speech bubbles of things you need to remember.

  6. Hyperbole – exaggerated statements not mean to be taken literally e.g. For the millionth time it’s a no from me. Onomatopoeia – the formation of a word from a sound related to what is named e.g. cuckoo or sizzle Alliteration - The occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words e.g. sweet birds sang softly Juxtapose Place two things together to show a link or emphasize a contrast between them.

  7. Revision timetable • Date Subjects Times What • 8.4.09 Physics 4.00 – 4.30 Three exam questions • English 4.45 – 5.30 Read R+J Act 1-3 • RE 5.45 – 6.00 Learn 5 key quotations • Maths 7.00 – 7.20 Exam questions • Biology 7.30 – 8.15 Make notes, Circulation • French 8.30 – 9.00 Revise traffic and camping • All 9.00 – 9.05 Ten things I learned today

  8. Revision timetables • Be flexible • Plan ahead days when you won’t be able to revise • Know when you work best • Just timetable subjects or tasks don’t be too specific • Be realistic

  9. Some final thoughts. If you don’t use Easter to revise you can expect to underperform by at least one grade on average. Most of you will have taken at least 2 GCSE exams 6 weeks from today (that includes the Easter holidays). Staring at a book is the worst possible way to revise. Exams are tough and good grades will not happen without sacrifices. Everyone has the potential to do well. These are YOUR GCSEs.
