TOP THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO TO GET THE BEST MARKS
1. At the end of each week- re-read your class notes and make a summary of these notes on the
bottom right hand corner of your exercise book or loose leaf paper- refer to page 10.
2. Use Microsoft Teams to get the class notes, PowerPoints, videos, podcasts, website links,
forums, chat rooms, upload assignments, check of completed work.
3. Podcast/record your summary notes, in your own words with examples and how it relates to the
topic. These can be done on your mobile phone, mp3 player or computer. This will allow you to
have a conversation around the topic and be able to listen to the whole textbook in 2 hours.
4. Create flashcards as you go through the chapter’s… www.quizlet.com these can be shared, printed
off and sorted into categories. These will help you with definitions and apply to apply them. The
trick is to not just write the definition, but to apply the knowledge with examples. You can also put
images in; this will help jog your memory.
5. Try to think of the units as a story, and a story that is worth telling. Create a visual representation of
the contents of the unit.
6. Seek advice, clarification and ask questions as they arise- in class time and outside of class time.
There are no stupid questions.
