PiXLThinking
Hard“Learning happens when people have to think hard.”
Prof. Robert Coe – Durham University
-
“Geography Revisit –what you need to
know”.
-
1. Reduce the information
down into the key points.
2. Summarisethe key points (write in the
boxes).
3. Transform: change the
information into drawings.
Art work NOT required.
Your visual memory is stronger than your written memory.
-
ExampleRiver processes
Hydraulic Action: the sheer force of the water, acts at the base of a cliff, causes cliff base erosion.
Abrasion: when material carried by waves acts like sandpaper to wear away rock surfaces. Acts on cliffs.
Art work NOT required. Thank
goodness!
-
1. Prioritise: for a topic pick out the key points.
2. Summarisethe key points (write in the
boxes).
3. Identify key facts, places, dates, words.
4. Rank it: Write a number in the box to show rank
order.
5. Justify: give reasons for your
order of priority.
-
Example
In 1 minute sketch out this
template on your paper.
-
1. Prioritise: identify 3 things that make you
happy.
2. Summarise those key points (write in the boxes).
5. Justify: give reasons for your
order of priority.
ExampleTopic: Assess the importance of things that make you happy.
3. Identify key facts, places, dates, words
or quotes.
4. Rank the things that make you
happy. 1 is most important.
-
‘Sense of place’ using examples to avoid the
geography of anywhere.
Example
-
1. The key point:These could be;
places, dates, facts, quotes or concepts.
Often the questions which are worth the most marks require you to make
connections. So revise these connections.
2. Making links: draw lines to link the boxes, the darker the line the
stronger the connection.
3. Making links: on the line give reasons for the links - explain the LINK
/importance or significance.
-
soilplantsPlants get water and nutrients from the soil
Task: for an ecosystem of your choice draw your own connections map
-
A question will often say “using figure…” so really use it.
Sea, waves, erosion, fetch
Geology, clay cliffs
Lost land
Road, path, evidence of land lost
Social, economic, caravan site

Where a photographic stimulus is provided, aim to draw detailed or elaborated inferences from the
information given.From the AQA examiners report 2019.
-
1. The source: find a graph,
map, photo or piece of text that links to the topic you are revising.
2. Zone it: identify the key parts to the source,
circle them.
3. The key points: use your zones to make sure you
write about all elements of the source. Write a key
point for each.
4. Prioritise: state which is the most important and
why.
In lots of exams you will be asked to “use figure …”
-
Transform information1. Change it: change
information from text to drawings or vice versa.
On the next slide there is written information about the factors that influence the appearance and formation of tropical storms.
Turn the text into a simple annotated diagram (NO art required).
-
1. Test it: choose one of your weakest
topics.
2. Test it: think of questions that might be asked
about this topic, use your notes and revision guides to
do this.
3. Test it: write an
answer to the
question.
Note. Some more complex
questions might have
more than one possible answer.
-
1. Identify: decide on key information linked to the topic.
2. Prioritise: put the most important at the top of the triangle. Least
important at the bottom.
3. Justify / make a judgement: give reasons for your order.
Often the questions such as “evaluate”, “assess” or “to what extent” need you to
think about most and least to get the highest marks, a
JUDGEMENT is needed.
-
1. Identify: decide on the strategies.
2. Prioritise: put the most effective at the top of the triangle, least at
the bottom.
3. Justify / make a judgement: give reasons for this
order.
Question: evaluate a range of strategies that can be used to increase water supply.
Example
On your paper draw out a triangle
-
In order of effectiveness, more
useful for an “assess”, “to what extent” or “evaluate” question.
Example
-
1. Identify: the key stages.
2. Order: place the stages / events in order.
3. Justify / make a judgement: give reasons for
the most important.
Often questions require the answer to be written in a certain order to get the
highest marks.
-
Students should link ideas or use chains of reasoning to elaborate
and develop simple statements in AO2
questions.
Example
From the AQA examiners report 2019.
-
Adapted revisit template
Information is sorted, ready to use in a logical
way in the exam.
-
Gets notes organised,
transformed, prioritised, and
justified.
Adapted revisit template
…embed the evaluative comments within the answer throughout.
