Using Your Knowledge Organiser
Your teachers have worked hard to produce this document for you and have selected the most important knowledge that you will need to know to make good progress in
their subjects. You should aim to learn all the information in your knowledge organiser off by heart.

Try out some of the strategies listed here to help you achieve this.

        1. Read the knowledge organiser and ensure you understand it.                      8. Write a set of test questions for yourself using the organiser.
           Try and make links between the information on it and what                                 • Answer these without the organiser the next day.
           you already know and do.                                                                  • Swap your questions with a friend to increase
                                                                                                         challenge.
        2. Look, Cover, Write, Check – the traditional way of learning                               • Turn your questions in to a game by putting them
           spellings!                                                                                    on cards and playing with friends.

        3. Create a Mnemonic – Using the first letters of keywords create                  9. Chunk the knowledge into smaller bitesize sections of around
           a memorable sentence or phrase.                                                    5 pieces of information. Concentrate on mastering a chunk
                                                                                              before you start on the next.
        4. Create an acronym – using the first letters of keywords to
           create a word to prompt you to remember all of the                              10. Try to make connections between the information and people
           information.                                                                        you know. E.g. Visualise yourself trying these strategies with a
                                                                                               specific teaching group.
        5. Write it out in full on a blank version of the same format.
                                                                                           11. Talk about the information on the knowledge organiser with
        6. Write it out in note form, reducing it to key ideas or words. Try                   another person. Teaching someone else about it helps us learn
           the same format but a smaller piece of paper.                                       it.

        7. Recreate the knowledge organiser as a series of images and                      12. Say the information out loud – rehearse it like learning lines
           words                                                                              for a play, or sing it as if you are in a musical!
