Revision is...

In order for information to remain in our long-term memory, we must understand it, we

must link it to already acquired knowledge and then

attach meaning to it.

Ultimately, we want to then apply it to examination questions.

Activities? Think of 15 activities?

• understanding– do the students know exactly what this concept/idea/topic means? Can they explain it to others?

• linking to knowledge- can the students link the information to other ideas, areas, concepts?

• meaning– do the students know the reasoning behind the learning?

• applying– will the students be able to applying their knowledge and meaning to the exam?

Magenta Principles...

Difficulties...

• Communication and Interaction- ASD

• Cognition and Learning- SpLD

• Sensory &/or Physical- HI/VI-PD

• Social, Emotional and Mental Health- ADHD
