English Language and Literature

A knowledge organiser is an important document that lists the important facts that learners should know by the end of a unit of work. It is important that learners can recall these facts easily, so that when they are answering challenging questions in their assessments and GCSE and A-Level exams, they are not wasting precious time in exams focusing on remembering simple facts, but making complex arguments, and calculations.

We encourage all pupils to use them by doing the following:

• Quiz themselves at home, using the read, write, cover, check method.
• Practise spelling key vocabulary
• Further researching people, events and processes most relevant to the unit.
