Revision strategies 3

1. Sharing Teaching and Learning Ideas
Half Term Five Focus: Revision Strategies
Key Idea: Revision Stories
Revision stories can be used as a revision exercise in the lead up to an exam, or as a
summary exercise at the end of a unit of work. It is used to encourage students to use their
imaginations in order to remember a piece of work more easily through imagery.
Ways you can do this in your classroom:
Students could complete these in class so they have a bank of resources to use as starters, or
they could be created with a different revision focus each week / at the end of a unit.
The key information for the story on the next slide is as such:
Printing processes:
Screen Printing – Low quality/Simple Shapes/Used for Pizza Boxes.
Flexography – Low to Medium Quality/Used to print on most materials – e.g. Plastic
Bags/Leaves a Ghost image/Tesco Bags
Lithography – Used only for flat surfaces (card and paper)/Detailed images/Med to high
quality/used for brochures and leaflets etc.
Gravure – The highest quality printing/Images can appear almost 3D/Used on Stamps and
wallpaper.

2. The Story – Written by a CCC Student
“Once upon a time there were four Princesses, Princess Gravure, Princess Lithography,
Princess Flex and Princess Screen.
Princess Gravure lived in the royal castle of Windsor and owned many fancy things. She
totally adored her wallpaper and would spend hours studying its high quality. She was so
important her Grandmother was even on a stamp!
Princess Lithography lived with her Mum and Dad in Beaconsfield. She is looking to buy her
first car (an Audi) and is looking through different brochures to choose which one she
wants.
Princess Flex was ever so chilled out. She would work with anyone and was flexible with her
plans. Often she believed her house was haunted by a ghost of Processes past!
Princess Screen was a chav. She ate pizza from Dominoes every day and her castle was
completely covered in empty, dirty boxes. She wasn’t very bright either!
This is my story of the Princesses I hope that you like it and learn!”
