Two templates for students to complete once they have received their marked mock paper. The template provides space for students to record their mark for each question and review their performance. The 2017 grade boundary is also provided. Students identify areas of strength and weakness and use the areas of weakness as a starting point for revision. The idea is that students will complete a pupil response task on the question that they did less well on. Students are given time to revise before completing the pupil response. The aim is that in their response the mark for the question will improve. Mark scheme is also provided so that students can drill down into how and why they achieved particular marks. grade boundaries based on summer 2017

3 pages of quiz cards for An Inspector Calls to use as part of revision with answers. Each question has a quotation and requires students to: 1. identify who said it 2. identify a technique used by Priestley 3. Answer a deeper question relating to the effect of the technique When printed off and photocopied back to back each card will have the answer on the reverse. I use these in folders (as shown in the image attached) and students spend the first 5-10 mins of certain lessons revising silently. Every correctly answered question moves a step back in the folder. Any question answered incorrectly moves back to the front. This is known as the Leitner method for retaining knowledge as part of regular testing. The Leitner method dictates which sections of the folder should be revised. The rota for his is also attached.
