Your knowledge organiser is your responsibility.
Your teachers will tell you which tasks you should complete each week.
You will need to remember:
● to take your exercise book, folder and knowledge organiser to all lessons;
● to take your exercise book, folder and knowledge organiser home each night;
● to write neatly;
● to practise every night.

organiser. Each week you should start a
new row and use this to record all of your
independent work for that week.
What to record
The grid is there to remind you of what the
work you have been set is and when it is
due. It is helpful to also mark it on the
subject page so that you are clear which
part of the content you need to use. 2
How to use your knowledge organiser
What to do
Unless your teacher tells you how they want the work to be completed, it is up to you to
decide how to complete the task. You could use mind maps, diagrams or methods like ‘look,
cover, write, check’. Always make sure your work is completed in your ‘homework book’ and
is as neat as possible.
How to use in lesson
Your knowledge organiser should be out on your desk in every lesson. You can use it as a
reference tool, to look up a definition for example. Your teacher will then be able to check
your work during the course of the lesson.

8English - The Merchant of Venice
Written by William Shakespeare - 1598
Important information
Genre- ‘Comedy’ It is known as a comedy because no one dies at the end, in effect. It is a problem’ play
(neither comedy nor tragedy).
Setting Venice and Belmont, Italy
Act 1 Bassanio asks Antonio for a loan of 3,000 ducats. Antonio has to borrow from Shylock and the bond is a pound of flesh. Portia complains to
Nerissa about the way her father has insisted she find a husband – by choosing one of three caskets – and mocks the suitors so far.
Act 2 The Prince of Morocco arrives and chooses the gold casket and so fails to win Portia’s hand. Jessica steals money and jewels and escapes
from Shylock with Lorenzo. Shylock is enraged. We find that some of Antonio’s ships have been lost. The Prince of Arragon arrives and
chooses the silver casket so he does not marry Portia either.
Act 3 More of Antonio’s ships have been lost. Shylock says he will have his pound of flesh. Bassanio arrives to woo Portia. He chooses the lead
casket and is able to marry her – the two declare their love. Nerissa and Gratiano reveal their love also. Portia and Nerissa give each man a
ring. Bassanio hears that Antonio is ruined and leaves to help his friend. Antonio is in prison and Shylock will show no mercy. Portia and
Nerissa say they are retiring to a convent but secretly go to Venice to help Antonio.
Act 4 Antonio is on trial. Bassanio begs Shylock to be merciful, but he will not rescind his bond. Bassanio offers 6,000 ducats to no avail. Balthasar,
who is really Portia dressed as a man, arrives at court to help Antonio. Bassanio offers ten times the debt or his own life but Shylock will not
yield. Balthasar/Portia insists that Venetian law must be followed. Antonio and Bassanio say goodbye. Shylock is about to cut Antonio when
Balthasar/Portia reminds him that the bond mentioned no blood and he must not spill a drop. Now Shylock says he’ll take the money but
Portia insists he have his bond. Shylock drops the case. He is then punished for attempting to take the life of a citizen of Venice. The Duke is
merciful and gives Shylock a fine. Bassanio wants to give Balthasar/Portia a token of appreciation. Portia asks for his ring and gets it. Nerissa
also gets Gratiano’s ring.
Act 5 Portia and Nerissa arrive home just before their husbands. Bassanio, Antonio and Gratiano arrive and give the good news. Portia and
Nerissa ‘find out’ that the men have given their rings away and pretend to be cross. Eventually, the two women give their husbands back
their rings and all is revealed. Antonio hears that some of his ships are safely home. Lorenzo hears he will inherit Shylock’s fortune.

Light travels in straight lines from a source. Light travels as transverse waves. It
travels much faster than sound, and does not need a substance to travel through. Lenses are curved pieces of glass or transparent plastic that are designed to

light pass straight through. We say they transmit light. Opaque surfaces can absorb
or reflect light. White surfaces reflect most of the light that hits them. Black surfaces
absorb light very well and reflect very little. This is why they look so dark.
Reflection
Light rays are scattered by rough surfaces (diffuse reflection),
which means that you cannot see an image in an object with a
rough surface. Mirrors and shiny materials such as polished metals
reflect light evenly. This is called specular reflection. The angle of
incidence (i) is equal to the angle of reflection (r) – this is known
as the law of reflection. Angles are measured between the light
rays and the normal (a line drawn at right angles to the reflecting
surface). You can see an image in a mirror because the reflected
rays of light appear to come from a point behind the mirror. The
image in a plane mirror is the same size as the object, and the
same distance away from the mirror. In the image, left becomes Cameras and eyes

Refraction the primary colours of red, blue and green. We see combinations of primary

We are able to see colours because objects do not reflect all the colours in
light. White objects reflect all the colours, but a red object only reflects red and
all other colours are absorbed. This idea applies to all colours except black –
black objects absorb all colours.
Filters are used to make coloured light. They transmit one of the24colours in white
light and let the other colours through. If you look at a coloured object in

We live on a planet called the Earth. The Earth gets energy from the
Sun. The Earth spins on its axis once every 24 hours. The side of the
Earth facing the Sun has daylight, and it is night on the side facing
away from the Sun. The Earth orbits around the Sun. It takes one year
to go around once. The Moon is a satellite of the Earth. We can see
the Moon because it reflects light from the Sun. The Moon seems to
change shape. The different shapes are called phases of the Moon.
The phases happen because we cannot always see all of the part
that is lit by the Sun.
There are eight planets in elliptical (oval-shaped) orbits around the
Sun. Most of the planets have moons orbiting around them. The Sun,
the planets and their moons make up the Solar System.
The eight planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus and Neptune. Gravity and gravitational fields

and the Sun is higher in the sky. The Sun’s rays are more
concentrated, so it feels hotter. Gravity is the force of attraction between two masses. The force of gravity is stronger if:
● the objects have large masses
● the objects are close together
On Earth, gravity pulls on every kilogram of mass with a force of about 10 N.
Gravity is not as strong on the Moon because the Moon has a much smaller mass than
the Earth. If you went to the Moon your mass would not change, but your weight would
be less than on Earth because the Moon’s gravity is weaker.
You can calculate the weight of an object using this formula:
Magnets and magnetic fields weight (N) = mass (kg) × gravitational field strength (N/kg)
Magnets attract magnetic materials. The two ends of a bar magnet are
The Sun’s gravity keeps all the planets in our Solar System moving in elliptical orbits

SLAVERY TIMELINE
capture - some slaves were captured directly by the British traders; they ambushed and captured local people in Africa;
however most slaves were bought from local tribal chiefs, who would raid a rival village and sell their captured enemies
purchase - in 1700, a slave cost about £3-worth of traded goods, e.g. cloth, guns, gunpowder and brandy
march - the slaves were marched to the coast in chained lines called coffles, then held in prisons called 'factories'
journey - the slave ship then sailed across the Atlantic to the West Indies – this was called the 'Middle Passage'
sale - in the West Indies the slaves were sold at an auction called a 'scramble'; some were sent to 'seasoning camps' to be
