KNOWLEDGE ORGANISERS

                                  At Longsands Academy, we believe that you are entitled to be immersed in ‘the best that has been thought and said’, which is best achieved through a
                                  broad and balanced, knowledge-rich curriculum. We are building a seven-year revision strategy that supports you to remember the core and powerful
                                  knowledge that is required to be successful in each subject.
    YEAR 9 • Summer Term • 2021

                                  The Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve demonstrates that knowledge is lost over time if it is not revisited. A simple model for memory involves working
                                  memory and long-term memory; working memory is limited, and can very easily become overloaded, whereas long-term memory is effectively limitless.
                                  You can support your limited working memory by storing key facts and processes in your long-term memory. Research evidence indicates that regular
                                  recall activities, known as retrieval practice, are an effective way of ensuring that knowledge is committed to long-term memory.

                                  At the start of each term, you will receive a knowledge organiser booklet that contains content for all subject areas, including facts, dates, characters,
                                  quotes, precise definitions, and important vocabulary. You will use these knowledge organisers in your lessons, in tutor time, and during homework
                                  tasks. An important aspect of your revision for mid- and end-of-year examinations will be to use the knowledge organisers for self-quizzing. If this core
                                  knowledge is secured, you will be in a strong position to use and apply this knowledge in a range of contexts.

                                  Knowledge organisers have their limitations. It is not possible to include absolutely everything you need to know in a booklet like this. In addition to
                                  self-quizzing from these knowledge organisers, you will need to use a range of other revision strategies to support your learning, such as practising
                                  longer questions and solving problems.

                                  The best way to use these knowledge organisers is to follow this simple guidance:
                                                                                                                                     1. Look at a specific aspect of the

                                                                                                                                     3. Write out the information from memory

1                      Colour Hue          The Name of the Colour        Colours are arranged on the Colour Wheel: - Red – Orange - Yellow – Green – Blue – Purple – (R-O-Y-G-B-P)
2                      Primary             Red – Yellow - Blue           These are the First Colours. They cannot be created by mixing other colours together.
3                      Secondary           Orange – Green - Purple       These colours are created by mixing two Primary Colours together. R+Y=O; Y+B=G; B+R=P.
4                      Harmonious          eg: Red – Orange - Yellow     Colours next to each other on the colour wheel – these colours visually blend well together.

5                      Complementary       eg: Red & Green               Colours opposite each other on the colour wheel – these colours contrast and stand out from each other.
                                                                         Also referred to as Chroma. This refers to the depth and intensity of the colour. Low saturation tends towards

7                      Tints & Shades      Colour + White or Black       Colours can be made lighter by adding white (a Tint). Colours can be made darker by adding black (a Shade).
8                      Cool Colours        eg: Blue & Purple             Cool colours are used in the distance or background of landscapes, to show atmospheric or Aerial Perspective.
9                      Warm Colours        eg: Red & Orange              Warm colours are placed in the foreground as they stand out and appear closer.
                                                                         The difference between the lightest and darkest Tones within an Artwork. High contrast includes both black &

2                      When?               Dates when they lived         Is the date significant? When did they create their work? Are there events or other works happening at this time?
