Strategy One
Use tape to divide a whiteboard into the 10 weeks of your term. Write the due dates of Assessment and exams in the appropriate week. Backwards map from these dates to draft dates, plan dates, finished research etc. Put all school check dates in the appropriate place
Strategy Two
Use tape to divide a pinboard into 4 sections. Pin all Assessment in one section. Use plastic sleeves so assessment remains tidy. Pin your timetable (include before and after school and weekends) in another section. Pin a monthly calendar in a third section. Pin times tables, CUBES, equations, etc in the final section.
Strategy Three
Use your school diary! Put all the details from strategy one into your diary. Put times tables, equations and other study hints in the back
blank pages.
Strategy Four
Use handwriting to take notes and complete work in every class. Use large, hard covered notebooks. Colour code or cover these so they are
easy to differentiate. In class date work, use headings and sub heading and write on the left page only. If must use your laptop, glue your
work into this page as soon as you can.
Strategy Five
Regularly read through these notebooks. The best revision is to do this every night. If this is not possible(for example, when you have a job at night), get up earlier and do this every morning. Reflect upon what you learned and write reflections to these questions:
Strategy Six
Create Vocabulary lists in the back of each notebook. Regularly read through your notebooks. The best revision is to do this every night. If this is not possible(for example, when you have a job at night), get up earlier and do this every morning. Update your vocabulary lists based on the work you have done that day. Use these vocabulary lists to regularly revise:
