Developed to teach pupils how to revise, and to try new revision techniques, this resource structures each topic and provides the option for pupils to choose which type of revision activity is best for each section of each topic.
Instructions for a variety of key revision activities are on the rear of the sheet, so pupils can revise completely independently, given appropriate notes or other stimulus material (see my other resources for activities which result in a full set of notes!).
I have included the original publisher document so you can adapt it or create a version for your own subject.
The storyboard we use is from freeology:

Take hours off your weekly workload! Mark a full set in 30 minutes
Given the new ofsted focus on managing teacher workload, there is a shift towards effective marking being done efficiently. The emphasis here is on the students doing the work, and the students making guided progress.
This resource is the free sample of the main resource which covers all of KS4 Physics with structured open tasks and target-based marking.
The students complete the work and hand it in.
Mark the pile of worksheets by highlighting or drawing a ring around the target you wish the student to do as their response. (You can also do this for any parts of the task the student has not completed, since the task is on the sheet).
Return the tasks to the students and project the targets onto the whiteboard for students to do their marking response.
I have made the ‘Conservation of Energy’ task available for free so you can try before you buy, and check that your school are happy that this fits in with their marking policy.
