Help; I forgot how to revise

Index cards, mind maps and notes

· Use to record key points - how a corrie is formed or how do I recognise a CBD

· Incorporate pictures, colour, highlighting – we are talking geography here – it’s a Monday morning activity using colours

· Draw a mind map – describe it to someone running your finger along each line as you do it – and underscoring each word – really it works

· Use pattern, colour, symbols and drawings

· Cover key points and topics

· Draw Diagrams – without labels – stick them on the wall add labels everytime you look at it

· Pin them up where you’ll see them often (above the TV?)

· Write down all the key words and phrases for a topic – associate them with memorable phrases

Who can tell me what a piddling stream is?

· Compare information, Summarise information – add colour – try filling one in without looking and then fill the bits not known in a separate colour

· Teach a topic to your mum, dad, sister, brother dog or even the cows!

· Fill in the gaps in your knowledge as you identify them
