Graphic resource outlining key revision tips and skills students need in order to study effectively. Aimed at all students, especially those at KS3/KS4/KS5. We ask students to study throughout their academic journey, but when do we teach them how to do it properly? After volunteering as an academic mentor for some years, I decided to create this resource to answer one of the most recurrent question students have to ask, i.e. “how to study?”. This resource is organised as follow: How to prepare oneself to revise Tips/techniques to use to study effectively 3 top skills needed to revise + questions to ask oneself It is extremely important to encourage students to: use a mixture of techniques to study/revise effectively - the more the merrier; adapt the techniques to suit their learning style (everyone is different!). The resource also has 2 links to: a video explaining what mind maps are; a page giving mind maps examples to get students started. This document can be printed in A5/A4 for students to keep, but it can also be printed in A3 to be used as a display in your classroom. Feedback welcomed!

Mind map outlining the main uses of prepositions with French verbs. Primarily aimed at intermediate level or above (KS4/KS5 students). The document includes: 1 mind map completed with examples (non-exhaustive); 1 mind map with icons but no examples; 1 empty mind map. The 2 empty mind maps are there to help students create their own. Gaps left in page 1 are there to: enable students to put their translations in; as well as to encourage them to add their own verbs and/or examples (e.g. dépendre de son téléphone). Caption: verbs using “de” are in blue rectangles verbs using “à” are in purple curved rectangles colour-coded boxes depending on whether the preposition is followed by: something (quelque chose), someone (quelqu’un), or an infinitive (verbe à l’infinitif) the last box includes phrases and expressions Feedback welcomed!
