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.

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.

French Christmas in France The French celebrate Christmas with a big family meal on Christmas eve followed by Christmas Mass and the opening of presents. This meal is called le Réveillon and can last up to 6 hours. Foods may include goose, foie gras, salmon, oysters, turkey and vegetables. The French may knot the ends of the tablecloth to prevent the devil getting under the table. Shoes are placed in front of the fire and they will be filled with treats. Le père Fouettard will visit and decides if children have been good or bad and he spanks the naughty children.

France celebrates Epiphany on 6th January by eating une galette des Rois. This is exactly 12 days after Christmas day – the birth of Jesus Christ. It marks the time when the 3 wise men visited Jesus in Bethlehem bearing gifts. It is also the Day when John the Baptist baptised baby Jesus in the river Jordan. The King cake is made of flattish puff pastry filled with frangipane and perhaps apple purée. Hidden in each cake is a small bean called a fève. The person who gets the fève in their slice gets to wear the paper crown and be the King for the day.

Culture The French flag is known as the Tricolore. Originally derived from the cockade which was used by Revolutionaries in 1789 as shown on the Revolutionary’s cap. In 1790 it was used as a flag and in 1794 the colours were reversed so the blue flew at the hoist not the red. The colours are those of Paris and the Royal white. Schools in France are now by law required to have the French and EU flags in each classroom and the words to the National anthem and the National motto.

YEAR 7 KNOWLEDGE ORGANISER AUTUMN

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)
