<p>Graphic resource outlining key revision tips and skills students need in order to study effectively. Aimed at all students, especially those at KS3/KS4/KS5.</p> <p>We ask students to study throughout their academic journey, but when do we teach them how to do it properly? After volunteering as an academic mentor for some years, I decided to create this resource to answer one of the most recurrent question students have to ask, i.e. “how to study?”.</p> <p>This resource is organised as follow:</p> <ul> <li>How to prepare oneself to revise</li> <li>Tips/techniques to use to study effectively</li> <li>3 top skills needed to revise + questions to ask oneself</li> </ul> <p>It is extremely important to encourage students to:</p> <ul> <li>use a mixture of techniques to study/revise effectively - the more the merrier;</li> <li>adapt the techniques to suit their learning style (everyone is different!).</li> </ul> <p>The resource also has 2 links to: a video explaining what mind maps are; a page giving mind maps examples to get students started.</p> <p>This document can be printed in A5/A4 for students to keep, but it can also be printed in A3 to be used as a display in your classroom.</p> <p>Feedback welcomed!</p>

<p>Mind map outlining the main uses of prepositions with French verbs. Primarily aimed at intermediate level or above (KS4/KS5 students).</p> <p>The document includes: 1 mind map completed with examples (non-exhaustive); 1 mind map with icons but no examples; 1 empty mind map. The 2 empty mind maps are there to help students create their own.</p> <p>Gaps left in page 1 are there to: enable students to put their translations in; as well as to encourage them to add their own verbs and/or examples (e.g. dépendre <strong>de</strong> <strong>son téléphone</strong>).</p> <p>Caption:</p> <ul> <li>verbs using “de” are in blue rectangles</li> <li>verbs using “à” are in purple curved rectangles</li> <li>colour-coded boxes depending on whether the preposition is followed by: something (quelque chose), someone (quelqu’un), or an infinitive (verbe à l’infinitif)</li> <li>the last box includes phrases and expressions</li> </ul> <p>Feedback welcomed!</p>
