What are knowledge organisers?
They are a one page (sometimes double sided) document that has key terminology, vocabulary, exam approaches and content information for each of the GCSE units you will study on them. We have created these as a department to ensure that everything we want you to know and remember (without thinking about it) is on these documents.
What do I do with them?
You use them in lessons, at home and as part of your learning to ensure that you know the information on them automatically. We will focus in lessons on the information contained in the organisers and we will apply tasks to help you learn the information. Some suggested KO tasks will be uploaded below to help you revise using these as well.
Why do I need to learn this information?
If you know all this information before you go into the exams at the end of year 11 you have a better chance of being able to perform well. Knowing the core knowledge will allow your working memory to be freed up to focus on the task instead of worrying about what you can remember. If we have ensured that you have learnt this information to the best of your ability and it is stored in your long term memory, then you are going to be at an advantage when it comes to focusing on the tasks in the exams.
