REFLECTION
We learn from reflecting on our experience.
This is then followed by action.
REFLECT
LEARN
ACT
First the 11.3 group has reflected on the factors that
have stopped us from revising.
They are similar to the factors that usually stop students from doing their
homework anyway…
GoingOut
• Too much time wasted with your
friends means that you spend less time revising!!!
Factors that stop me from revising
Reflection
Video Games like Xbox or PS3
Save them until after your exams!!!
Reflection
Laziness or lack of motivation
•If you want to succeed, you have to stay concentrated and motivated.
Reflection
Family problems
Anything that upsets you or distresses you can keep you away from studying.
Reflection
Siblings• Try not to get distracted by them!!
Reflection
Mobile Phones
Instant messaging
A girl in our form group has confessed that she spends more than 2 hours on her mobile phone!
Reflection
Monopoly, lego and other similar games
Yes, teenagers can still play with them…
Reflection
TV•Watching the latest episode of Eastenders isn't going to help you get your grades!!!
Reflection
Snacking on the wrong type of food
• It can make you feel lazy and not give you the nutrients that you need
Reflection
Being Negative and not-believing in Yourself
If you don’t believe in that you will be successful, how can you possibly achieve your goals?
Reflection
Action
Then as a group we have reflected on the actions we can take in order to improve our revision.
These are the tips we have suggested for studying and revising.
Use Past Papers and Answer Examination Questions
• Using past papers can be a major help: actually seeing examples of questions is one of the best ways to revise.
Action
Use Interactive Websites
• Websites like BBC Bitesize are free to use and can be a more interesting way to revise.
Action
Get all the support you can.You can achieve much more with the support
of the people around you, such as parents.
Mind Maps or Diagrams to help remember key words and concepts
Action
Speaking Out Loud: This can increase your motivation and
help you remember
Action
Being creative with your learning.Why not try making a song?
2 + 2 = 4
Action
Keep on drinking. A rehydrated brain learns better, as water is
essential for brain function.
Action
Get some revision guides (and use them)
+
= Answer exam
questions and check answers
Action
Post-it notes
• Write down any useful tips/ key facts to help you remember.
• As you learn them, you can throw them away because you have done another job for your success.
Action
Friends…… can help you if they believe in your success and want to succeed themselves.
Action
Positive self-encouragement
This is a very important factor. You need to be confident and clear about your goals, then you have every chance to succeed.
Action
Here are specific examples of how individual students of 11.3 have decided to take action in order to improve their revision skills.
Reflection > ActionThe obstacle that
stops me from revising is my
friends, because I like to spend too much time with
them!
To overcome this I have decided to make my
friends revise with me. This will help my revision because all of us will be
revising together!
Reflection > Action
I think that the obstacle that stops
me most of revising is that I get frustrated
when I get an answer wrong!
To overcome this I have decided to be determined and to
carry on until I get all the answers right!
Reflection > ActionI believe that the
obstacle that stops me from revising is my mobile phone because I use it all
the time.
To overcome this I have decided to be more
organised and make a revision timetable. If I
plan my time better I will do my revision and still
have time to use my mobile phone.
Reflection > Action
What stops me the most of revising is
watching TV.
I have decided to sit in a room with no electronic
things.
I have decided to record the programmes that I want to
watch, so I can revise first and then watch the programmes
afterwards.
Reflection > ActionAn obstacle that stops me from
revising is video games because they are distracting and more interesting
than revision.
To overcome this I have decided to use past papers because
they’ll help me practice what the
exams are really like.
Reflection > Action
What stops me from revising is fatigue, as
this makes me too tired to do anything
and I fall asleep.
I have decided to start getting enough sleep, so I won’t feel tired
and hopefully complete my revision.
Reflection > Action
What stops me from revising is my
collection of legos. It’s like they have a special
force that pulls me towards them!
I have decided to hide them in a secret
compartment behind my fridge! This will allow me to revise
without distractions.
Follow effective action
With quite reflection
From the quiet
reflectionWill come even more
Effective action
