 Hi everybody, welcome to the first teaching learning video round by teacher toolkit and this video is all about revision strategies Now the first idea is all about using different colored pens within a revision task What the pupils do is they start just as normal using a black or a blue pen You write down everything they can remember from past lessons and their revision Once they have run out of ideas They then move on over and maybe talk to a peer or maybe get a revision guide or get a textbook They write everything down using a green pen They then might want to do some extra reading They might want to use their iPads or they might want to use a laptop So they write everything down with a purple pen and I might give some pills of wisdom or maybe some exam technique Anything like that. They write down with a red pen It's a really good teacher assessment way to see how much the people's are relying on others How much they're relying on the textbook or how much they can actually remember Also, the people's can self assess to see how much they remember What's on their syllabus? What extra reading they might want to do and what's really good for exam technique? So my first little tip is using different colored pens. My second revision tip is nothing new It's all about using flashcards with the increased demand on vocab on the new DCSE Anything that can help them remember keywords is a thumbs up from me These are index cards. I also have smaller traditional flashcards in lots of different colors I've also been using these luggage labels with a key ring attached to them Really good for one keyword and a definition on the back I'm going to try and get a stack of these in my classroom one for every topic The second revision technique is different shapes of flashcards Third revision strategy is a bit of a pick and mix here. I've got two different bowls in this bowl I've got lots of different topics such as genetics photosynthesis They've all got really clear success criteria breaking down the topics so the people's know what to include This ball I've got lots of different revision strategies. So I've got mind mapping. I have got making flashcards I've got making videos really active ways for the people's to revise All the people's do is they take one from this ball and one from this ball So they might get a mind map on photosynthesis. It's really good for getting people's more active with them revision And for them not to just sit there and read over their revision notes My final revision tip is to use the revision clock in the classroom I've been using it lots recently It was originated by teach jog blog and it's been going crazy on Twitter. It's really good for procrastinators It's really good for high ability pushing them on to harder topics quicker It's good for low ability if you scaffold it and support it really well and really recommend it Go on to Twitter and search revision clock. It's also on the TES Thank you for watching my video. I hope you found it useful You have any strategies which use in your classroom. Please do tweet us at teacher talk it We look forward to hearing from you
