The concept of a revision clock is that pupils spend five minutes completing each section - thus meaning they revise a large amount of a single topic in an hour. this resource includes two revision clocks, i plan to provide my pupils with it printed double sided, they will complete one side in class and one side for homework. I have based these clocks largely on the Pearson purple revision guides, the clock follows the pages from front to back. Another technique is to ask pupils to fill out what they know in one colour, and then use a second colour to revise using a revision guide or textbook, giving them a colour coded guide to what they need to focus their revision on.
