Short description
The purpose of this resource is to help students stay above water when it comes to revising and preparing for exams. I call it Block Busters as often students can experience some kind of mind block when it comes to tests. The template helps consolidate work covered throughout the year for quick access to an overview for revision.
By using the template at the start of, and throughout the school year, students have a hands-on revision template they can use in mocks and final exams. It also makes studying more dynamic as students are actively working with the course material, encouraging them to reflect more about what they have covered in class.
Teacher tip/How to proceed
Give all students a blank template (enlarge to A3 size) at the start of the year and train them on how to use it (see my example for ideas).Students work individually then can compare notes to build upon content by exchanging ideas. Eventually they will naturally use the template as a note-taking tool. I like to encourage students to decorate their own templates as they wish.
LK20 Core curriculum
School must provide room for in-depth learning so that the pupils develop understanding of key elements and relationships in a subject, and so they can learn to apply subject knowledge and skills in familiar and unfamiliar contexts. In their work in the subjects, the pupils shall be given tasks and participate in varied activities with increasing complexity. In-depth learning implies applying knowledge and skills in different ways so that over time the pupils will be able to master various types of challenges in the subject, individually and in interaction with others.
