Each year we give our Y11 and Y13 chapter by chapter (or topic by topic) revision packs of past paper questions. They also have their 10 or 12 required practicals to review and complete past paper questions on. I find having a tick off list with the Y11 students useful to allow me to monitor where they are up to at home, and as they work on these packs in lesson time after half term.
It uses peer pressure as a force for good and allows me to see how might need a bit more of a nudge (or a chat about chilling out!). I allow students to put their own sticker up as, despite them being big kids, they still love shiny stickers.
This year I’m also going to monitor the Y13 students in the same way – they will really love the old-school cheesy sticker chart, and it will allow those less independent workers to see the pace that some of the others are working at. I’ve sectioned the Alevel one off into coloured sections for maths skills, practical skills, synoptic questions, topic-by-topic questions and essay practice.
