5. General Principles of Daily Review
Short, 5-8 minutes at the start of a
lesson.
Everyone needs to be involved.
Make self-assessment checking
accurate and easy for them.
It has to be individual and generative –
it is NOT a recap (looking back at work
work they have done).
Obtain a high success rate. (Approx.
80%)
6. Benefits of Daily Review
Checking starting points/arrival of
previous learning
Allows for repairing misconceptions
Strengthen connections/links between
learning – building schemata.
Fights the forgetting curve – every
time you do it, the memory gets
stronger
Helps build student confidence
Good, calm starting routine (especially
when monitoring corridors)
7. DO NOW:
Write the key word:
a) A resistant rock formed by magma/lava cooling down
b) A less-resistant rock formed by layers of sediment
increasing pressure
c) When glaciers freeze to ice and pull the rock away
d) The valley formed by glaciers
e) Farming with animals
f) The landform created by freeze-thaw weathering
g) A coastline with the geology parallel to the coast
h) An area of more resistant geology left sticking out into the
sea
i) The landform remaining when an arch collapses
j) The area of erosion at the base of a cliff between high and
low tide
8. DO NOW (back of books):
a) Name these natural causes of climate change
b)Explain how 2 change our climate.
9. DO NOW (back
of books):
Match up the letters to
the most likely rock type:
Sedimentary
Igneous
Metamorphic

10. DO NOW:
Explain the mistake in the answer to this question:
Explain how glaciation has changed the landscape in
the UK (2)
Freeze-thaw is one type of glaciation. This is when
water freezes in cracks and expands, breaking apart
rocks. This has caused scree slopes when the broken
pieces of rock fall down afterwards.
11. DO NOW:
• In the BACK OF YOUR BOOKS:
Draw a diagram to show the CORRECT
location of your (3!) earthquake KEY
WORDS! Then define them!
Focus, Epicentre, Seismic Waves
NO CHEATING!
15. Quick Fire Quiz
● Really simple - 5 quick quiz questions on the board, kids do
them silently, feedback. Takes a few mins max. Kids don’t
actually seem to get bored of this.
● Include an answers slide for quick checking. If you’ve got the
time and energy, signposting common misconceptions in the
answers is useful, and helps limit the slight ego-knock when a
kid gets one wrong.
16. Paired Quiz
● Needs some advanced prep, but once you’ve got the resources
they’re always there.
● Make sets of flash cards with questions on one side and
answers on the other. Hand them out to pairs. Partner A starts
with the cards and quizzes Partner B. Then swap round.
● Easy way to get room full of students checking knowledge and
correcting each other.
17. Tell the story
● Provide a list of keywords, with a question to answer or
a process to explain (Geog example opposite)
● Students have to ‘tell the story’ of a concept (say, the
Marshall Plan) either to a partner who has success
criteria to verify with, or in their books, using the
keywords.
● Book takes longer but makes sure nobody can coast
through, partner is quick but means half the class hear
their partner’s attempt first.
18. Brain Dump
● Give students a topic.They have to create a mind map or list of
bullet points with everything they can remember about the
topic.
● Green pen the gaps together.
● Could provide some hints for things to think about, but be
careful not to scaffold it too much, or it’s review rather than
retrieval.
19. For and Against Summary
● Useful for more general, less tightly focused retrieval.
● Give students a statement - “The Soviet Union were the
aggressors in the Cold War”.
● Strengths/weaknesses, benefits/drawbacks,
advantages/disadvantges etc.
● Students create two columns - facts in support, and facts
against. Green pen.
20. List
● Useful for more general, less tightly focused retrieval.
● List 5 ways/factors/examples etc.
● Students create one column
21. True or False
● Useful for more general, less tightly focused retrieval.
● Can use more complex statements/language
● Students could then use the true statements to develop an
explanation.
22. Odd One Out
● Useful for remembering links between factors.
● Can lead to complex discourse
● Explaining links.
23. Cloze
● Use to measure comprehension, in which a student is called
upon to supply elements that have been systematically deleted
from a text.
● Retrieving key terms.
● Adjust difficulty by providing terms in advance.
24. Find the mistake/mistakes
● Engaging for less able learners and extremely time efficient.
● Can be used to model answers
● Can lead to discussions about best practice in exams etc.
