A selection of three resources which can be used to help aid the teaching of the CISC vs RISC section of the OCR course.
Included:
1.) A powerpoint from which a lesson can be planned, which includes:
- What are CISC and RISC?
- What are the differences between CISC and RISC?
- The uses of RISC and CISC
2.) A quick 5 minute knowledge-check questions which can be used as a plenary activity to reinforce knowledge. These are simple questions such as "State one advantage, and one disadvantage for using a CISC processor". If the student does not know one of these areas, this hilights an area for further teaching.
3.) A PDF containing match-up cards. These can be used to develop understanding of the differences between CISC and RISC, for example
- Using a matching-up exercise type activity in pairs or small groups
- Cutting out or putting in a 'blind-bag', where students have to describe a processor characteristic before other members of the class guess.
Disclaimer: These resources are made the best possible to match the OCR specification, but this is not guaranteed. They can also be adapted to other specs such as AQA.
