Produced this lesson to use with my year 11's in preparation for their exams. Looks at different memory games to get them thinking about how their memory works - then explains how short term memory and long term memory work and how things can interfere with their memory. My class really enjoyed this - both the memory games and how it applies to revision. They came away with a better understanding of strategies to use for revision.

This is a worksheet that I use with students throughout KS3 and KS4 at the beginning of working on persuasive techniques, they fill in the sheet during the lesson and then stick it in the front cover of their books to assist them in following lessons.

Comprising of; 1 Powerpoint presentation, 1 handout on Memory Techniques and Exercise, 1 answering sheet This was delivered as a year 10 Assembly but would be equally suitable for any Senior school class or study group. The Powerpoint is short and simple and introduces the idea of Memory as an ‘Art’ and I talked about how it could be improved and coached instead of being something that people are naturally good at. It has a slide on some feats of memory such as the World Memory record just as some fun facts and ‘wow’ thoughts. The main exercise is the Memory Test. There are 60 words pulled from a range of GCSE specifications and then tips on how they could remember them. I spent a lot of time on the last slide and pulling in their ideas as to how they could go about remembering 60 words. I gave them the handout and 1 day to remember them all with the promise of prizes. You could give them longer or shorter as suits. The handout has the techniques on it and is useful for general revision and study. I will reissue this nearer to the exams. The answer sheet is for them to write down their words when you do the Memory Test. It was great fun and a surprising number of them took it really seriously. The chocolate based prizes may have been a contributing factor. Enjoy.

Designed to aid teachers, this resource aims to look at how our memories work and, therefore, how to best utilise them. From both a scientific, Neuro-linguistic and practical approach for the classroom, the techniques and details in this handout will help you to teach students the best way to revise for them.

Working memory is part of our executive function and if often referred to as our “mental workspace” where information is stored and used for a short time i.e. a few seconds. It’s that place where we store a phone number, an address, an email address, etc. If a student is not able to retain the information needed to solve the problem, then the student is unable to complete the task and, of course, does not feel good about it at all. What is language processing? Several parts of language are very difficult for children with ADHD to make sense of and use successfully on a daily basis. Syntax is the set of rules of oral and written grammar. Semantics are the word meanings that influence oral and written grammar. Finally, pragmatics is the social use of language to convey thoughts and humor. The following thirty-three presentation and training slides are an explanation of many different memory techniques and strategies that can be modeled and used successfully with students with characteristics of ADHD to help improve his/her/their working memory deficits. This training can be used in a focused faculty meeting, an all-day professional development session, and/or a small group professional learning community. As well, this training can be given to parents to allow them to help their children at home more successfully when studying with them or helping with homework!

Ideal for Key Stage 3 and 4, this is a completely unique way to approach the teaching of Macbeth. Using a memory-peg system, students are able to remember the key details, characters and themes of the play by visualising trigger images pegged on locations around their bedroom. The images are repeatedly ‘visited’, each time adding more details to enable them to review the play without needing notes. Please watch the YouTube video to gain an overview of the process. I have used this technique successfully in both schools in London and my present school in China. This book is also available at a reduced price as part of my Creative Ways to teach Macbeth bundle. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/creative-ways-to-teach-macbeth-12107584
