Mind Maps
The theory behind mind mapping explains that making associations by connecting ideas helps you to memorise information easier and quicker.
Research shows that
creating
visual aids, rather than simply reading material that is already provided leads to greater recall.
Put the topic name in the middle of your page and use one ‘branch’ for each key point.
If topics link together join them with a line and write how they relate.
Top Tips:
Only write
key words
on the mind map.
Use bright
colours
Draw pictures help you to memorise the information.Slide5
Give it a go!
Earth is our home planet and the only one known to support life. It is the fifth-largest planet and is orbited by one moon. Our planet is the only one in the solar system to have water in its liquid form, which allows it to support life. 71% of Earth's surface is covered in water and the oceans help to keep the temperature cool enough for life to survive. It takes 24 hours for the Earth to rotate once - a day - and it takes 365 days for the Earth to orbit the Sun - a year. The surface of our planet is very young because it is always changing. The surface is made up of different sections called tectonic plates which move over time, re-shaping the Earth's surface.
Even though the Earth is over 4 billion years old, it is expected to support life for another 500 million years.
Using the information on Earth, create mind map to help you to memorise the information.
Draw your mind map on the whiteboard

Post it notes/ Flash Cards
Post it notes are a good way of getting across information really quickly-You can condense your learning onto them
-They can be reminders of the things you struggle with-They can be used to test yourself
-You can use them as tabs where the answer to a question will be underneath them
A fun thing to do is to stick them around the house. Every time you go there you will see this information e.g. on your wardrobe, on the fridge or even on the back of the toilet door! Slide7
Give it a go!

a fleet of 700 ships and a large army.
Harold II marched quickly south from Stamford Bridge. He left many of his soldiers
behind
The
two sides met at Senlac Hill, near Hastings.
Harold II's army were at the top of Senlac Hill. They formed a shield wall to protect themselves.
Some
of the Norman soldiers began to flee because they thought William had been killed. William took off his helmet to show them he was still alive.
