Hi folks,
Remember, your revision will be much more effective if you use your existing notes and materials to create something new by transforming them into something else. 'Distilling a poem' is one way of doing this; you look at your notes, select the most important things to remember, then present it in a way that is organised and visually pleasing.
Don't forget dual coding. Combining words with relevant images, diagrams, colours etc. makes the information more memorable.
If you've created any good notes, why not share them with the class as an example? Remember though, the process of creating your own materials is a powerful learning tool in itself.
Here's some examples, courtesy of Liberty (thanks!!!):
