I’m a big fan of a fun, colourful PowerPoint, as it means my students can also download it and study from it when away from our lessons. I also LOVE games like kahoot as they’re brilliant for quick recall! Kahoot is very popular in school, and I like to make academics fun, because it ignites a passion; I try and avoid dull lessons because dull lessons mean you aren’t learning! I occasionally set little worksheets to be done online too, just to really consolidate learning. If doing A-Levels/Advanced Highers, or wanting to learn how to structure essays better, I also do set essay questions for my students. But not to worry- I also do the essay questions so we can compare structures and answers, since it is a strong suit of mine. By comparing my answers with my students, I feel it gives them a good example of any mistakes they may be making, and how to avoid them in the future. It also allows for great conversational analysis, something that is VERY important for subjects like English! Analysis is key! Do my history students, again I am a big fan of online quizzes like kahoot. Kahoot and online flashcards that I make for my students, which they can also take away alongside the PowerPoints used in my class, are a great way to review and revise key historical dates, names, and events. I also do mini “tests” where we run through everything learnt at the end of the lesson to truly consolidate knowledge, since history is a lot of date learning
