Attached are a series of revision strategies I used with my Y11 and Y10 classes in the lead up to their GCSE exams and mock exams. Strategies include: Blockbuster Guess Who Case Study Bingo Catchphrase Knowledge Retrieval Grid Linguistic Equations Lonely Hearts Corner Paper 2 Revision Board Game Pointless Scrabble Showdown Revision Pong Who am I? Speak Like a Geographer The Chase

A PPT and resources for students to carry out a TRF escape room. I use this with a Y10 low ability group to inspire them in the topic~ works really well! You will have to change my school badge from some slides. I print the information slides in A3 and then laminate the key slides and ‘I BROKE OUT’ and ‘I DIDNT BREAK OUT’ slides. The pupil answer sheet also has the teacher answer sheet attached. I place the laminated key under my chair. Equipment not provided: You wil need a padlock with a 4 number combination and a suitcase/box to open.

A way of revising which can break a topic down into 12 sub-categories. Ask a student to make notes in each chunk of the clock. Revise each slot for 5 minutes, turn the clock over and ask the student to recite back to you certain sections of the clock. ‘e.g. what was in section 2-3’. Works well with GCSE students.
