How shall I revise?
1. Read through your book/revision guide and highlight or underline key words.
2. After reading through your books make your own notes on index cards or in a note book, but only write down the key words that you highlighted.
3. Draw pictures or diagrams to help you remember the facts.
4. Give the card/note book to a friend or family member and see how many facts you can remember.
5. Put a star next to the facts that you forgot and say these out loud (yes people will think you have gone mad!).
6. Try to use rhymes or sayings to help you remember the facts.
7. Once you have made your revision cards, use blue tac to pin them around the house and read each card every time you pass it.
8. When you can remember a card off by heart then you can take it down.
Remember
Learn your case studies:
For each case study you must know:-
- when it happened
- where it happened
- why it did (effects)
- who it affected
