This revision timetable uses the Pomodoro method to allow students to block out their time in 25 minute slots.
The cream lines are for 5 minute breaks and the pale green lines are for 15 minute or lunch/dinner breaks.
Timetable runs from 9am to 8pm
How To Fill in Timetable
There are two methods to filling in the timetable.
First get students to block out unusable time (e.g. classes, football practice etc.)
Method 1: Get students to write a list of all the subjects they are studying. Then allocate a 2 hour time slot to each subject. This means they’ll study 4-5 subjects per day
Method 2: Get students to allocate 25 minute slots to different tasks (e.g. past papers, revision resources, quizzes). They can then allocate different days to different subjects
They should allocate something productive to do in their break time. A productive break should:
Not include screens
Move away from the study space
Involve active movement
