Cpd carousel revision strategies
Revision refers to the process of editing, correcting, altering, or adapting something that was previously created. Effective revision strategies include re-reading notes or materials, re-writing key points, organizing information, and practicing retrieving information from memory rather than just recognizing familiar concepts. Revision requires time, avoiding distractions, spacing out practice over time in order to strengthen memory and understanding of concepts through deliberate practice.

Structure - By Mrs Hallahan
George Orwell structured 1984 to build suspense and concern around the theme of government overreach. The passage begins by shifting Winston's focus from the ordinary to strange.
