Homework

At KEVI we are using homework to teach students how to revise. Homework will be revision and self-quizzing for all pupils across a range of subjects. We use knowledge organisers, revision guides, class quizzes, and homework books checks to simplify homework whilst teaching students good revision habits, embedding knowledge and reducing workload for staff.

YEAR 7-11

All students will complete a prep style homework activity each night, this will consist of self-quizzing using Knowledge Organisers (KO).

The process will consist of the following:

Students will complete their homework in a provided homework book
A line will be drawn in pencil every six lines down the page
Students will spend two minutes revising a section of the KO
Students will then hide the KO from sight and attempt to record as much information as possible in the first 4 lines of the top box on the page using a black pen
Once complete students will check the information, ticking correct information and using the bottom two lines to make corrections, this should be done using purple pen
This process is repeated until there is a full page of self-quizzing, this should take 30 mins
The minimum requirement is that one page of self-quizzing should be completed

Homework books will be checked by tutors each morning in roll call, any students who has incomplete homework will be given a Homework detention for that lunch time.
