Knowledge organisers contain all the information about a text on one piece of paper. For poetry they need to contain:
• The poet’s context and why they wrote the poem.
• The main themes
• Key quotes to sum up the poem
• Key quotes to show language techniques
• Key quotes to show structural techniques
• What the rhyme scheme of the poem is
• Create a knowledge organiser for all of the poems listed above.
• Now condense your knowledge organisers on to revision cards so you can learn the key ideas for each of the poems.

Subject: History
Paper(s): Germany 1890-1945
Revision priorities:
• Youth groups in Nazi Germany
• Problems facing Germans during the Depression
• Weimar culture (art, literature, theatre, buildings, music)
• Political unrest and economic problems after WW1 until 1923
For the mock exam you will be focusing on Germany 1890-1945. This assessment will last 1 hour and you will be asked 6 questions:
1. How does interpretation B differ from interpretation A (4 marks)
2. Why might the authors of interpretation A and B have different views? (4 marks)
3. Which interpretation do you find the more convincing? ( 8 marks)
4. Describe two problems… (4 marks)
5. In what ways were… Explain your answer (focusing on impact) (8 marks)
6. Which of the following had the greater impact… (2 bullet points – things to consider) (12 marks)
Success criteria
• Read the questions carefully
• 4 marks = a one paragraph response and 5 minutes of writing time
• Questions 1-3 you will focus on comparing interpretations
• Provide evidence to support the points you are making
• Explain your points. Use the following sentence starters: this shows that… this led to… this is important because… The impact of this was…
• When writing about impact consider: How exactly did something impact someone/people? Did people’s lives improve? Get worse? How quickly would society change? Did some people benefit from changes? While other groups were excluded?
• Write in PEEL paragraphs – point, evidence, explain, link back
• Use the wording of the question as your opening sentence
• Plan for the big answered question and start with this question (it needs the most amount time spent on it and the most amount of writing
Suggested activities:
▪ Create flashcards on the above topics. Use the copies of the revision guide pages you have been given to help you. The ‘main’ headings on the revision guide pages should be on the front of each flash card – this is the ‘must know’ concept. On the reverse, add the bullet point detail from the revision guide pages – this is the ‘good to know’ detail which will help you explain the concepts in more detail.
▪ Don’t just read your flash cards! Do something with them that gets your brain to recall the information in different ways. For example, you could:
Turn your flash cards into a mind map. Try to recall as much information as you can from memory before checking your flash cards or notes.
Turn your flash cards into a quiz. Test yourself by creating a question related to each heading on your flash cards. Try to answer them without looking at the back of your card or your notes first. Quiz yourself regularly.
Turn your flash cards into a concept map or a revision clock. A revision clock is a really useful way of revision a topic in a really focused way. You can learn more about revision clocks on this YouTube video: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5ofs1jQsiE). We’ll also cover revision clocks in lessons too. You can collect blank revision clock templates from your teacher. A concept map is like a mind map, but you try and link the different sections of your mind map together if you can see a connection. For example, if one event or factor leads to or happens as a result of another factor.
Another really quick and effective way of using flash cards is the Leitner Method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C20EvKtdJwQ
▪ Work through your revision material in a sensible and logical order. The revision priority list above sets out the key parts of the topic you need to revise. You could use the revision priorities list above as a checklist to help you work through your revision.
▪ As well as revising the content, make sure you also spend time revising ‘how’ you answer the questions in your assessment.
▪ By the time you come to do your in class assessment, you will have practiced/reviewed/planned each question type at least once, if not more. To prepare, think about:
▪ Revisiting the planning materials we have used for each question
▪ Have a look at some of the example answer you have been given. What makes them ‘good’ or great answers?
▪ What can you take from each answer to help you? What sentence structures or starters could you use in your own answers?
Reflect on any verbal/written feedback you have received.
Create a bullet point list of ‘key ingredients’ for each question stem. What makes a good answer? What should you include? What should you avoid doing?
Create some short sentence starters to help you structure each answer. You can find clues for these in the feedback you have been given, as well as on the planning resources we have shared with you.
▪ You might also find GCSEPod helpful. Look at the below clips – remember to focus on the revision priorities listed above.
https://members.gcsepod.com/content?subject_id=6018&exam_board_id=1010&topic_id=8146
Finally, you could also use GCSEPod or Seneca to add additional notes to your revision materials, like your flash cards.
