Revision is...
In order for information to remain in our long-
term memory, we must understand it, we
must link it to already
acquired knowledge and then
attach meaning to it.
Ultimately, we want to then apply it to
examination questions.
Activities? Think of 15 activities?
• understanding– do the students know exactly
what this concept/idea/topic means? Can they
explain it to others?
• linking to knowledge- can the students link the
information to other ideas, areas, concepts?
• meaning– do the students know the reasoning
behind the learning?
• applying– will the students be able to applying
their knowledge and meaning to the exam?
Magenta Principles...
Difficulties...
• EAL
• Communication and Interaction- ASD
• Cognition and Learning- SpLD
• Sensory &/or Physical- HI/VI-PD
• Social, Emotional and Mental Health- ADHD
DON’T
ASSUME
Make the
thinking
easier. Not
the task.
