How to revise effectively

This resource guides students through how they can revise effectively.

Included:

• explanation of how we learn - short term and long term memory
• explanation around how revising in 20-25 minute blasts is key (Pomodoro technique)
• explanation of spaced retrieval
• exploration of 4 strategies that classes can try in class or at home. These are:

1. The Feynman technique / Protege effect (speaking out loud or teaching someone else the knowledge you need to learn)
2. The Leitner technique using flash cards and spaced retrieval
3. Blurting (Tiktok trend)
4. Visualisation

This resource could be used as an assembly or as part of form time in preparing for the start of a revision process.
It could also be used by class teachers in guiding students on how to revise in particular subjects.
