Y7 Revision techniquesHow to make revising more effective and fun

Sticky Notes Write key words one one set of sticky notes

and the meanings on another – scramble them up on the table in front of you and then match them up.

Write a sentence from a paragraph of text onto each sticky note. Jumble them up and then try to put them in the correct order.

Put key words and phrases onto your notes and then stick then in prominent places around your home for a week before your test.

Making stories and raps Turn your revision key words and

phrases into a story. You could even turn it into a comic sketch using www.toondoo.com or the comic creator app on an ipad.

Turn your revision into a rap or a song. There are rhyming dictionaries online to help you if you get a bit stuck but using your imagination is best. The autorap app for tablets is also a good tool

Mind maps are a colourful and creative way to collate information

Mind Maps Use colour to link ideas Draw images to help you remember

information Use capital letters and lower case to

highlight information Link things with lines – thicker lines are

for more important facts

Hexagon Links Write key words on the hexagons and

then link them together explaining the link to yourself or a partner as you go.
