REVISION TECHNIQUES

Below is a list of possible REVISION TECHNIQUES, read each one and decide if it would suit a Visual, Auditory or Kinaesthetic Learner. Then tick if you have already tried it or of you are going to give it a try.

REVISION TECHNIQUEVisualAuditoryKinaesthetic

HaveAlready Tried

WillTry!

INDEX CARDS: keywords can be written on index cards to summarise a topic or process. On the other side a coloured visual or symbol of some sort can be used to aid recall.

POST-ITS: stick post-it notes with keywords on. Order and re-order to learn sequences!

POSTERS: dramatic and colourful posters, which summarise important content that can be placed at eye level.

REVIEW TO MUSIC: an enjoyable and easy way to memorise essential summary information. Choose music with 60-70 beats per minute is good for helping long-term memory.

DRAMATIC MONOLOGUE: Part of text or summarise Key points spoken aloud can help with recall, particularly if voices are outrageous!

GET A MANAGER: get someone other than a teacher to listen, test or question you at a pre-agreed time.

WALKABOUT: memorise new information in unusual places/location. Revise different chapters in different rooms. Put index cards on the floor in sequence to walk between.

RAPS, RHYTHM or RHYMNE: put something in verse or to music and make it rhyme and it becomes easier to remember. Good for dates/mathematical tables/formulae etc.

VISUALISATION: make it bold, colourful, moving. Attach it to a person, place or object. Store it as a picture in the upper visual field - should be able to ‘see’ it there when you need to.

RIDICULOUS APPLICATIONS: R.I.N.G – Relevant, Interesting, Naughty, Giggle. Take information out of context and give it a ridiculous application to help it stick.

HIGHLIGHTER PEN: highlight keywords and information, this makes keywords stand out when reviewing information.

MEMORY MAPS: Memory maps can be added to, shared, built up. Memory maps connect the left and the right brain.

FACES AND PLACES: Attach information to a familiar place or face you know really well. In re-calling the face or place the information accompanies it!

BUILD MAPS: Produce a summary map and place all over your wall. Combine memory maps, flow charts, key-words.

INSIST LISTS: lists of essential information placed on pocket-handy cards and kept with you at all times.

HaveAlready Tried

WillTry!

INDEX CARDS: keywords can be written on index cards to summarise a topic or process. On the other side a coloured visual or symbol of some sort can be used to aid recall.

POST-ITS: stick post-it notes with keywords on. Order and re-order to learn sequences!

POSTERS: dramatic and colourful posters, which summarise important content that can be placed at eye level.

REVIEW TO MUSIC: an enjoyable and easy way to memorise essential summary information. Choose music with 60-70 beats per minute is good for helping long-term memory.

DRAMATIC MONOLOGUE: Part of text or summarise Key points spoken aloud can help with recall, particularly if voices are outrageous!

GET A MANAGER: get someone other than a teacher to listen, test or question you at a pre-agreed time.

WALKABOUT: memorise new information in unusual places/location. Revise different chapters in different rooms. Put index cards on the floor in sequence to walk between.

RAPS, RHYTHM or RHYMNE: put something in verse or to music and make it rhyme and it becomes easier to remember. Good for dates/mathematical tables/formulae etc.

VISUALISATION: make it bold, colourful, moving. Attach it to a person, place or object. Store it as a picture in the upper visual field - should be able to ‘see’ it there when you need to.

RIDICULOUS APPLICATIONS: R.I.N.G – Relevant, Interesting, Naughty, Giggle. Take information out of context and give it a ridiculous application to help it stick.

HIGHLIGHTER PEN: highlight keywords and information, this makes keywords stand out when reviewing information.

MEMORY MAPS: Memory maps can be added to, shared, built up. Memory maps connect the left and the right brain.

FACES AND PLACES: Attach information to a familiar place or face you know really well. In re-calling the face or place the information accompanies it!
