TASK.

Try to learn and remember as much
information from the Muhammad Ali
sheet as you can.
You have 5 minutes…and then you will
be tested on it.

MUHAMMAD ALI 1942-…
Muhammad Ali, arguably the greatest boxer in the history of the sport. He was born in 1942, in Louisville, Kentucky in the United States. He
was named after his father, Cassius Clay, Sr., who was named for the 19th century abolitionist and politician Cassius Clay. He changed it to
Muhammad Ali in 1964. He became a boxer at the age of 12. As an amateur boxer he won many titles, culminating in the Light Heavyweight
gold medal in the 1960 Olympics in Rome, Italy. When Ali returned home to the states, he was so proud that he wore the medal around his
neck wherever he went. After a week, he went to a café and ordered a drink. The waiter said “I’m sorry, we don’t serve coloured people”. Ali
was so incensed by this! He had represented his country, won the gold medal, and come back to this kind of treatment. Muhammad Ali ripped
from his neck and threw it into a river. Ali turned professional at the age of 18. Ali's record was 100 wins, 5 losses when he ended his amateur
career.
Ali became the World Champ at the age of 22. Clay was famed for his unorthodox fighting style. Rather than match his opponents with brute
force, Clay brought tactics and strategy into the ring. With his fast-moving style, he was equally adept at dodging a punch as at delivering one.
His fancy footwork soon became known as the ‘Ali shuffle’. Ali also fought a great psychological game, often beating fighters before they
stepped foot in the ring. It was in the pre-fight build up to his first world-title fight with sonny liston that Ali famously said “I will float like a
butterfly and sting like a bee”.
In 1967, when Ali refused on religious grounds to be drafted into the US army to fight in Vietnam, he was stripped of his title and banned
from boxing., two decisions he successfully overturned in court. This he achieved by defending himself brilliantly without a lawyer.
In 1971, Ali lost the title to Joe Frazier. Ali went on to win it back and then fought in two of the most famous fights in the history of boxing;
The Rumble in the Jungle, versus George Forman and The Thrilla in Manilla, again versus Joe Frazier. Ali is the only boxer to have held the
World title on 3 separate occasions. Ali retired from professional boxing in 1981, at the age of 39, with a career record of 56 wins and 5 losses,
and as a three-time World Heavyweight Boxing Champion. Throughout his boxing career Ali was won over 50 million $. Muhammad Ali
became a Muslim around the age of 22, and a member of a group known as the Nation of Islam (or the Black Muslims) and was inspired by
the teachings of Malcolm X. Muhammad Ali has been married 4 times, and has had nine children. There have been many films made of his
life, most recently with Will Smith in the title role. Ali was awarded the coveted title of ‘Sportsman of the Century’ by the BBC in 1999.
Although suffering from parkinsons disease, Ali still makes many public appearances. He refuses to allow his disability to beat him. He travels
around the world doing great work for charity.

WHERE TO START.

• Chunk the information into key words or
  topics.
• Make lists in rough.
• Start to arrange information.    C.L.A.M
• Make it more ‘manageable.’

MIND MAPS
Research shows that making mind maps is a really
effective way to revise.

Your teachers will train you on how to make
brilliant mind maps.

Mind Maps help
with “CHUNKING”
information into
smaller pieces which
makes it easier
to remember.

EFFECTIVE MIND MAPS.

1.    Page is landscape
2.    Central focal image (trunk)
3.    Key words / topics (branches)
4.    Detail (twigs)
5.    All lines are connected
6.    One word/picture per branch
7.    Use colour.

MUST SEE…
• Google
• You tube

• Positively Mad Mind Map video.

  • The science behind why they work.
  • How to do easily and effectively.
  • All the things you can use them for.
  • Why they are so much better than simply
    copying notes.

Story Boards.

                                                and it made me        it was almost like
     I was walking past a    who had made a
     palm tree and I saw a                    really hot tidying it      doing some
                               real mess!            all up.              exercise!

  These can be visual (written/drawn) or verbal

• You will know which      questions to answer.
• You will know the timings – how long to spend on each
 section.

• Train yourself to work     fast and gain time in exams
 (you can practice this at home – do the same answer in half
 the time)

• Tactics for certain papers – such as mind dumping.

PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION!

1. Read the question.
2. Read it again
3. Highlight the key subject              Before you answer
   words.
