How best to revise

Highlight and annotate text

You should aim to highlight the following:

• specialised terms
• a sentence or word that sums up an important idea or an advantage or disadvantage of the technology
• short examples of how technology is used.

Delete irrelevant text

Instead of highlighting text they want to keep, ask them to cross out text they think is irrelevant, leaving only the relevant, most important points visible.

Re-Write test

Write down the main points, leaving a gap between each of the headings, then they go back and fill in the gaps, summarising the main points in their own words.

Know it – List it – Test it

This technique involves pupils writing down what they already know about a subject first BEFORE reading any of the text. Then, as they read the text, they make a list of any NEW information they are learning. They should then cover that text and try to re-write the original text and new information from memory.
