Students are required to know specific dates, keywords and formula.

By learning the key facts from as early as Year 7, the knowledge will become part of your long

term memory.

If you can retrieve key facts you are able to access higher demand questions.

How do I use a Knowledge organiser?

Each knowledge organiser has the key facts for the topic you are learning

You will have specific homework set around each area of the knowledge organiser

You need to memorise the content of the knowledge organiser before you are quizzed in class

Use the look, and cover, and say, and write, and check method to learn the information.
