A2s Revision for Paper 1 resits

A2s: hello girls. This term we are starting our revision sessions on memory beginning with the nature of short term memory on Thursday, 15 November. Yuo msu make sure you have read through the appropriate section. Here is a great little revision strategy which you can use while working with a friend in a quiet space but where you can talk to each other.

1. Make notes on a brain frame relating to the specific bit of work to be revised.
2. Why not work on 3 mark chunks of the syllabus at a time.
3. From your notes, pick out key words; write them down separately and make them into a silly picutre or pattern using inital letters or if it is findings which are in numbers try to make the numbers into a meaningful chunk of some kind (like an improtant date).
4. Memorise the information.
5. Cover it up and write down the key words.
6. Give yourselves three minutes to write an answer incorporating all the keywords.
7. Now swap and mark each others and come up with a best version incorporating all the best bits of both.
8. Keep going like this until you have completed a full brain frame with no more than 7 chunks (ideal for Aim Procedure Findings, Conclusions, and 2 Criticims) and rememebr to share your efforts with your friends. You could do this using posts and comments on this blog.

Cheerio!
