Oasis Academy Silvertown Knowledge Organisers Summer 2018 Year 10
Knowledge Organisers Why are we using knowledge organisers? Knowledge Organisers have been carefully planned and produced by teachers at Oasis Academy Silvertown this term for students in every subject in every year group. These organise the most important facts, dates, events, terminology, characters, concepts and definitions so that students have everything that they need to know in one place. Knowledge organisers support our students to embed this important knowledge in to their long term memory, providing a helpful resource for home learning, revision and lesson preparation. We expect all students to know everything on their knowledge organisers by the end of each half term. How are they planned? Our knowledge organisers are organised into columns and sections so that all students can cover one column and use the other to learn, test and revise the key information. The knowledge organisers are also written in carefully planned sections so that students can chunk their learning logically. How can students use them? All students will use their knowledge organisers in a minimum of three ways. 1. Cover, check, write, correct. Students cover the definition, quote or key term they wish to learn, write it out, check it and then make any necessary changes in a different colour pen. 2. Dual coding Students draw a picture or symbol for each key concept that they are learning. The use of pictures and words has been proven to support the embedding of knowledge in the long term memory. 3. Quizzing Knowledge organisers can be used by family members or friends to support learning by testing our students. Simply read a key term aloud and ask the student for the definition, or vice versa! e.g. What does.mean? What is the key term that means? Students must have their knowledge organisers with them at all times when at the Academy.
