-A 'competitive mind-mapping task (which can be completed on the whiteboard or on A3 paper)
-A silent debate task (with 6 x A3 silent debate worksheets in an editable .doc file) [nb. allowing group conversation, instead of silence, is also an effective approach]

The revision sessions can be used in a number of ways:
-As revision sessions during a revision period of term-time leading up to exams

This session can be purchased individually or as part of various bundles depending on your needs.
