KS3 REVISION BOOKLET Year 9 Trinity Catholic High School 2015 Using this booklet to help you revise, will help you go from this….. to this…….. What will I find in this booklet? 1. An Introduction to a number of revision techniques. 2. A revision tips flow chart. 3. Year 9 Exam Timetable Summer 2015 4. Subject Specific Revision Activities with Stretch and Challenge Activities. An Introduction to Revision Trinity Catholic High School Summer 2015 This booklet aims to help you prepare for your forthcoming summer exams. We have high expectations of all students at Trinity and therefore it is most important that you try you hardest to meet or exceed your target level. Before you begin revising, it is important to check your target level for each subject. WARNING: Should you not meet your target level you will be given a 10 hour revision pack for EACH subject that you underachieve in and this must be completed to a very high standard. In addition you WILL have to re-sit the test at Saturday school. The Headmaster will be informed of your progress and you may also be targeted for after school classes and Saturday School. If you revise thoroughly, you will avoid having to give up your free time to attend extra classes. If you use this booklet to help you revise, you WILL reap the rewards when you finally achieve or exceed your target level! Prizes will be awarded in assemblies to those students who perform exceptionally well in their tests. “Before everything else, preparation is the key to success”. Remember to create a revision timetable so that you do not overload, or under load yourself. Revision should be carried out in blocks of 45 minutes. Factor in breaks for snacks, walking the dog, going for a bike ride. A sample timetable is shown below. Make up a similar timetable according to your own school day and stick up on your bedroom wall or in your study area to help you keep on top of homestudy and revision.

List each topic in each subject. 2. Decide upon the area which requires the most attention. 3. Work out how much time you have before the tests begin. 4. Match the topics to the time left. 5. Tick off the completed work. The morning of the test: Have a good, healthy breakfast. Stick to your normal routine. Use positive self-talk. Imagine positive situations. Leave the house with plenty of time to spare. Bring water with you into the test. Exam Technique: Read questions carefully. Have spare pens, pencils and rulers at the ready. Give yourself time checkpoints. Underline key words in questions. In Maths, don’t miss out any steps in your working out! Move on if you are unsure of a question. You can return to this later and guess at the answer if necessary. Distribute time on a question in relation to the number of marks that are available. Go back over your answers and double check them! Don’t leave answers unanswered. Mind Maps: Mind Maps are excellent memory techniques because, by using a mixture of colour, pictures and imagination with logical and sequential information, they use both sides of your brain. Condense your notes and organise them by theme, main ideas and details. An example is shown below: Revision poster Strategies for Revising For each subject your teacher has suggested a range of revision strategies, you can find this information within this booklet. Some of these methods are shown below. Find out more about revision strategies on this page and the next! TEST A FRIEND: Test your friends on their revision notes and have them test you on yours! Talking through previous lessons and what you learnt will do you SO much good! Spider Diagrams: Before you begin revising a topic, you might like to test yourself and see what you know first. This will help you to gain an impression of how competent you are in a particular area, to see exactly what you need to revise and how much time you should be spending on it. Once you have divided your revision up into manageable sections and allocated time to each part, devote five minutes at the start of each study session to create a spider diagram detailing all that you can recall about that area of knowledge. Write the title of the section in the middle of your paper and draw a ring around it. Divide the large section into smaller sub-sections by writing sub-headings around the main word. Use these words as the foundations from which to build your other thoughts around. Recalling certain facts and arguments will lead you to other connected information and ideas. Once you have written all that you can, take a look at your revision guide, class notes or text book and try to establish what has been left out. After refreshing your mind on the information you were already familiar with, your revision session should then be centred on filling the gaps in your knowledge. FIRST CLASS: Use the VLE to access loads of revision resources and past test papers that your teachers have created for you!!!! Imagine YOU’RE the BOSS! Now you can be the teacher! Imagine you were creating the test paper. Write a list of questions that might come up and try to answer them. Why not create a mark scheme as well – what answer will be awarded FULL marks??? CONTENTS Hot Potatoes: ‘Hot Potatoes’ is a software package that allows you to make five different types of interactive exercises to help you to revise. You can make yourself the following, based on areas of subjects that you struggle most with! Multiple-choice quizzes Short answer quizzes Jumbled sentence exercises Crossword exercises Fill-in-the-blanks exercises You can access this brilliant software at http://hotpot.uvic.ca/. What have you got to lose? Simply download the software and get cooking up a storm of learning!! Don’t half bake your revision! Cue Cards: Note/cue cards are always really handy for when you're out and about. List definitions and rules you need to know. Or write key words from which you can fill in the gaps to tell the whole story. These are also (very!) handy for learning language vocabulary. You can buy index cards in any good newsagent that will be a convenient size once cut in half, or buy ready-made ones. Once filled in, these cards will allow you to reclaim time that would otherwise be wasted - on the bus, in the queue at the supermarket - there's no limit. Don’t forget to place on key word on one side of the cue card and the definition of the word on the other side of the card. Get Mum or Dad or even your Grandma or Grandpa to say the key word and test you on the definition! Revision Tips Flow Chart Revision Timetable Art Design and Technology Drama English Geography History Maths Music P.E. R.E. Science Textiles Audacity is a FREE piece of software that you have been introduced to in ICT lessons. You can use Audacity to record your revision notes and cut, copy or mix sounds together. Play them back, especially if you are an aural learner, and listen to your words being said back to you. This will help to solidify your revision. Don’t forget that you can record your voice onto iPods and iPhones – when you are on the bus with your headphones in, no one will ever know that you are listening back to your class notes rather than the latest “Will-i-am” track! - they’re exams – not worth ruining FRESH AIR AND EXERCISE!

Support your current project Link to your Gallery/ Museum research Be thoroughly documented – show off your presentation skills Be visually exciting Be well thought out AO1 Develop Ideas – gather lots of information. AO2 Experiment, Select & Refine (try different materials). AO3 Record Ideas – what you think & why? AO4 Present - a personal response –what did you enjoy & why? Drawing is making a mark. Making marks is what creates an image. TRY some of these…. Zoom into an area of the still life / object. Look carefully at the shapes that you see. Draw lightly, transferring the shapes and structures you are looking at – fill the page. Start to look for the light and the dark. Vary the pressure of your pencil to create the tones you see. Aim for 4 tones – black, dark grey, light grey & white. Make your drawing look 3D by using directional shading – you are giving it form. In order to create an image you must believe you can make those marks into a work of Art. Within your extended Artist research task: Experiment with a range of materials – e.g. collage, biro, felt tips, colour pencils, different types of paint/ pastels etc. After experimentation choose the method you like best. Evaluate all the work you produce – record your thoughts and ideas, comment on how your ideas have developed, what you think has worked well and what you can do to improve it. These will be posted on the VLE. What’s On? List 5 Galleries or Museums in London or across the UK that are currently holding exhibitions you would be interested in going to.

Students will have 1 hour to complete the exam. Differentiated papers will be issued to students as required. Causes of the First World War: Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism, Nationalism and the Assassination of Franz Ferdinand. Trench warfare – what are the features of a trench? Aside from gunfire, why were the trenches so dangerous? Propaganda – How was propaganda used to encourage men to enlist? Conscription? Using sources – what can sources reveal about historical events? How reliable are different pieces of historical evidence? You and a friend could create a word search of all the key words and write the definitions as clues. Swap word searches and try to find words based on the clues they've given you. The following website will assist you in this task, http://hotpot.uvic.ca/. Create a detailed mind map of an event you want to study. Highlight the most important points on your completed diagram, then practice explaining the factors highlighted. Draw arrows to show causes and consequences of the event. Explain why you have placed your arrows in those positions. Create cue cards with questions on one side and answers on the other. Get someone else to test you. Choose a picture source and ask 5 questions about the source. (E.g. who produced this source? What is the purpose of this source? What can I learn from this source?) Answer your own questions using evidence. These will be posted on the VLE. Create 20 cue cards with key words on one side, meanings on the other. Learn all key words and ask someone to test you on the spelling and meaning of 5 words every day. Select key words from the lists you have been given in lesson and from your classwork. Make sure your key words are linked to the topics you need to revise (not just any topic). Spelling matters – so make sure you check carefully with a dictionary or your text. Draw a detailed diagram of a British trench. Label all of the features and explain why/how they were used. Extension: Explain how trench warfare impacted the length of the war. Use evidence to support your answer. Use your class notes, text book, and independent research to revise the features of the trench. It is not enough to merely label the features of the trench – you need to know their purpose and how successful they were. Create an A3 mind map with WWI in the centre. Add all the key topics listed above and make sure you can answer the questions. You will need to use facts and figures and other evidence from the text and your own research. Colours and images are useful as well. For more mind map ideas, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlabrWv25qQ&safe=active and http://thinkbuzan.com/.

Mymaths and other mathematical websites. Mind maps. Practice exam papers (look on emaths website) These will be posted on the VLE. Revision test paper posted on VLE for students to print off and bring in completed to teacher. This is found under my classes – course content – summer exam revision In addition, for those students in set 1a and 1b, resources are provided to prepare you for the EP test. These can be found under the Exceptional performance section in my classes. Students should be looking to reach their target grade in the paper and highlight topics for revision. Complete the booster packs set by your teacher on Mymaths. Success Criteria: Students should be looking to reach their target grade in the booster packs and highlight topics for revision. Students complete a poster/presentation on topics highlighted for improvement on the practice papers completed in week beginning 27th April 2015. The poster is very detailed covering all key points to the highest grade/level for the topic. A variety of research has been used. Ideas are organised into meaningful groups and examples are shown to illustrate the key points. The poster is innovative, exceptionally well presented with meaningful use of colourful and displays well from a wall. It serves its purpose for revision. Mathematical terminology is used and all spellings are fully correct. Basic Mathematics: Practical real life examples (Teach yourself series) – Alan Graham www.mymaths.co.uk www.emaths.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/maths/ As a result of being on rotation with drama those students who did not do a Mid-Year test in music will do an End of Year test in music and should read through the following pages to help them with their revision. The Blues Playing the 12-bar Blues, improvising using the Blues Scale. Task – compose and perform a verse for a Blues Song. Popular Songs Performing/Arranging Task – ‘The Entertainer’ and/or ‘Stand By Me’ – reading treble and bass clef. Identifying structure, comparing different arrangements. Read back through your books and create mind-maps on each section reminding yourselves of what we have covered and any keywords. Listen to the different styles of music that we are studying outside the lesson to get a better understanding and to enable you to identify different styles. Develop your keyboard skills by practising in the department during your lunch break or after school. There are also online keyboards available and a variety of online games (see below). Don’t forget about your musical elements – they can always be explored in any genre of music that you are studying. These will be posted on the VLE. Compare two versions of ‘Killing me Softly’ – audio on First Class. You should be able to give a musical reason for why you prefer one of the two pieces, for example: ‘I prefer the second version of the piece as it has a faster tempo and uses a wider range of instruments including computer generated sounds’. When comparing the two versions, you should try to identify differences relating to: Instrumentation (what instruments can you hear playing?) Dynamics (loud and quiet) Texture (how many / few instruments there are at a time) Tempo (fast/slow) Structure (how is the song organised?) Any other musical differences you can think of Draw a keyboard and identify all of the different keys (including the black keys). Underneath the Keyboard diagram, write out the notes of the Blues Scale, starting with the note C. Write out the pattern of chords in the 12 bar blues starting with the chord of C.
