=**Welcome to History: Revolutions!**=

Things you can do to ensure you start off organised:

 * have your 'concept cards' on hand so that you can start doing these from Day 1
 * be sure to have a good folder for readings - you want to try to keep these chronologically
 * develop a good note-taking system and stick to it - lap top OR workbook is preferable, not a combination (unless you are going to type up notes later or alternately, print them off and stick them in your book)
 * always ask questions as you go - there is NO SUCH THING as a silly question (often you'll find others are wondering the same thing!)
 * be sure to take note of any problems you have with readings so that we can go over them in class
 * always know that you can come and visit me when you need to!
 * Some ways you can revise throughout the year:**
 * talk about what you are learning with friends
 * teach your parents or siblings (or friends!) something about the Revolutions - their questions will help you to see what you do (or do not!) know - if they have a question that you can't answer, let me help you fill the gaps
 * start a timeline in your bedroom or bathroom so that you are always prompted to revise the details
 * look up your own random facts about the Revolution - there is some funny stuff out there! (NOTE: be aware of historical integrity - not all of it is true!)
