Macbeth Lightning Revision cards for GCSE - Revision of character, theme, context and quotations

Macbeth Lightning Revision cards for GCSE - Revision of character, theme, context and quotations

(0)
40 revision cards with questions on one side and answers on the other to make revision fast and simple. This resource is best used in a small index card folder/organiser.** (As seen in the image) ** Based on the Leitner method, the idea is simple: the further the card goes back in the folder: the more secure the information is in long term memory. A card can only move back a position if you correctly answer the questions on the card. If at any point you do not answer a card correctly enough, the card must return to section 1 regardless of how far back it went. This is because it needs to be re-studied. Quotation cards There are 3 questions on each card: a ‘who’ question, a ‘what’ question and a ‘why’ question. Knowledge cards. These cards test knowledge of either subject terminology or the text itself. Subject terminology cards include questions on the definitions of language devices, sentence types and word classes as well as specific terminology. Knowledge cards include questions about context, plot, character and theme. Getting started Create 6 sections in your ‘Lightning Revision’ folder. Place all/some cards in section 1 at the front of the folder. Follow the timetable card **(photo attached) **which tells you which of the sections you should revise each day. You’ll revise section 1 every day because cards in this section are the ones that you are least secure with. If you answer correctly enough: move the card to the next section. If you aren’t happy that you answered correctly enough then move the card back to section 1. (Regardless of how far back in the folder it was.) **The Science bit: the better the mastery: the less frequent the practice. ** ‘Lightning Revision’ works using the principle of ‘spaced learning.’ Research shows that after studying something: within one hour, you will have forgotten an average of 50% percent of the information. Within 24 hours, you have forgotten around 70% and within a month, this increases to 90%. By spacing out the studying and by returning frequently to the material we want to remember, we increase our chances of committing it to long term memory. Instead of ‘cramming,’ the simple act of spacing out revision in instalments, and allowing time to elapse between them makes the learning and memory stronger. This resource has been created to help information that you have revised stay within your long term memory. In this system, we revise information that we are insecure with more frequently. 2 versions included: Print - fold horizontally - cut them up and you’re ready to go! Print back to back and you;re ready to go.
