HOW TO SELF TEST WITH KNOWLEDGE ORGANISERS Mind Mapping Mind mapping is simply a diagram used to visually represent or outline information. It is a graphic technique you can use to translate what is in your mind into a visual picture. Since mind mapping works like the brain does it allows you to organise information faster and more efficiently. Use information gathered from your knowledge organiser to create mind maps, make sure to use colours and images, keeping writing to a bare minimum. Using this technique will help to embed key information into your long-term memory.

Flash Cards Use your knowledge organiser to make flash cards. Write the question on one side and on the other record the answer. Test yourself or work with a friend to make sure you know all the key information for each topic. You could also use flash cards to test yourself on the definitions of key terminology. Remember you need to revisit information 10 times for it to be embedded in your long-term memory.
HOW TO MAKE FLASH CARDS VIDEO
Revision Clocks Start by drawing a basic clock. Break your knowledge organiser down into 12 sub-categories. Make notes in each chunk of the clock. Revise each slot for 5 minutes, turn the clock over and then try to write out as much information as you can from one of the segments. Eg. all the information in the 2-3pm segment. Your brain will retain more information if you include images as well as key words.

Frida Kahlo 1907-1954 Frida Kahlo grew up in a house called La Casa Azul with her parents and 6 sisters. That house is now the Frida Kahlo museum. As a child, Frida loved to draw. At age 6, she caught a disease called polio which damaged her right leg. Initially studying medicine, Kahlo changed her career after a serious accident. As part of her recovery, Kahlo underwent thirty-five operations but she kept painting. Her mother had a special easel made so she could paint in bed, and her father lent her his box of oil paints and some brushes. Frida often painted portraits of herself. She wanted to show people about her suffering, her inability to have children, and also the people in her life. She created 143 paintings, and of these, 55 are self-portraits. Frida was proud of her Mexican heritage. She was inspired by traditional Mexican art which is colourful, bright, patterned, symbolic art. It is full of feathers, flowers, dancing, music, and texture. She often featured animals in her self-portraits, such as monkeys, parrots, a hairless dog, and a deer.

The Sagrada Família (full name Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família) is a large Roman Catholic church in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926). Although not finished, the church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In November 2010 it was consecrated (dedicated to a special purpose) and made a minor basilica by Pope Benedict XVI. Building of the Sagrada Família began in 1882. Gaudí started working on it in 1883. He took over the project, and changed it with his ideas on architecture and engineering. Gaudí worked on it until he died. At the time of his death in 1926, less than a quarter of the building was finished. There is an expected finish date of 2026–100 years after Gaudí’s death. Gaudí also designed Parc Güell in Barcelona, constructed between 1900 and 1914 and renowned for its colourful mosaic tiles. Today, it is one of Barcelona’s most famous landmarks.

Grammar
Carnival of Cadiz The Carnival of Cádiz is one of the best-known carnivals in Spain. Its main characteristic is humor. Through sarcasm, mockery and irony, the main groups and the people of the street “purge” the most pressing problems of today. The whole city participates in the carnival for more than two weeks each year, and the presence of this fiesta is almost constant in the city because of the recitals and contests held throughout the year.
Culture focus! Diego Velazquez (1599-1660) was a Spanish painter. He was made the official royal painter by King Felipe IV. In 1656 he painted ‘La familia de Felipe IV’, more commonly known as ‘Las Meninas’ ( ‘The Maids of Honour’). The small girl in the painting is the Infanta Margarita ( the Princess Margarita). Many other artists have been inspired by ‘Las Meninas’. One of them was the famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). Picasso liked to experiment with shape and colour. In 1957 he painted 58 versions of ‘Las Meninas’!

HOW TO SELF TEST WITH KNOWLEDGE ORGANISERS Graphic Organisers Try to come up with different ways to represent the information visually, from your knowledge organiser for example: an infographic, a timeline, a cartoon strip, a Venn diagram, or a diagram of parts that work together. Work your way up from drawing what you know from memory. By presenting your work in a different format the information is more likely to transfer to your long-term memory.
HOW TO USE GRAPHIC ORGANISERS
Look, Cover, Write, Check This strategy is commonly used by primary schools, it is a proven effective method of practising the spelling of key terminology found in your knowledge organiser. Start by carefully looking at the keyword you need to spell, cover it up, write it down, check it against your knowledge organiser and correct it if necessary. Make sure to practise the words you get incorrect several times as practice makes perfect!
USING ‘LOOK, COVER, WRITE, CHECK’
Keyword Mnemonics Make up a sentence where each word begins with the same letter as the word you need to remember. e.g.: Colours of the rainbow: ‘Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain’ (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet) e.g.: The order of the planets: ‘My Very Enthusiastic Mother Just Served Us Noodles’ (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune)
