Spaced learning powerpoint and detailed notes with questions

Tells you what is tested and what the scores mean.

Pecha Kucha is a Japanese powerpoint competition format. It is based on 20 slides auto timed to last 20 seconds each. I have reduced this to 10 slides for KS3. My reasons for doing this are: 1) It allows for personalised learning 2) it gives homework more of a meaningful structure than a 'finish off...&' homework, which is always tempting under pressure 3) it should help students develop research and presentation skills they will need later 4) it should preclude &';reading from slides' presentations 5) it should help to develop constructive criticism as a skill

I thought I would collect together my experiences of different types of drawing with students and my thoughts/tentative conclusions about the value / learning outcomes of such activity, in case it is of any interest.
