This activity works at turning short term memory into long term. It makes a fantastic one off lesson for getting the students up to speed on the Living World GCSE Topic!! Works amazingly!! Students get 10 minutes to memorise the complete memory map on the Living World Topic. Students take the outline of memory map and complete as much as possible in black pen using only their memory. After 10 minutes, they tun over the complete memory map and add in all the things they missed in red Last time…on fresh, outline map, do the same again in black. Then do the red pen thing again after 10 minutes The idea is to draw a complete memory map all in black!

This resource can be adjusted to suit any subject/topic. A really nice review sheet where students can reflect their learning. A must for all subjects.

Population Flashcards for perfect knowledge retention Seeing a lack of good flash cards on here, I decided to start making my own. The ones you are looking at cover the entire GCSE course for the topic of Population including case studies and skills. To use them, harness the facts on the forgetting curve and the “Litener box system”. Have three boxes, one to review daily, one to review every three days and one to review every week. Print off all the cards and put them in box one (daily). When a student has read these put it in two (every three days) and so on. If ever a student reads a card and isn’t sure - put it back a box and keep going (3 to 2 or 2 to 1)!

In advance of giving out the options booklet that details all the subjects, we give out this brochure that is then shared with parents. it is a clear and concise introduction to the year 9 options process. It proved very useful!

When engaged in academic tutoring or self reviewing, the students often need help identifying the problem and ideas for how to deal with it. This resource takes takes the pressure of the teacher regarding this and helps the students identify this themselves. i found that this resource not only saved lots of time but the results were fabulous. Very happy and therefore wanted to share!

To accelerate learning, I have been using booklets for a year now and they have made a massive difference to the student’s results. This resource is for the GCSE topic of Development for AQA. Has REALLY made a difference. Works alongside the AQA GCSE textbook by Simon Ross. The booklet covers all of the Development topic except the country case study. A great time-saving and effective resource. Enjoy!

These booklets cover all of the topics for the Edexcel 2016 Geography syallabus. Great for recapping and checking knowledge.
