What is a Knowledge Organiser?

Knowledge Organisers are a central place where staff have placed key content, skills and knowledge to help you progress. These skills are essential for your success and will need to be memorised and applied in your lessons. There are some techniques for how you can use Knowledge Organisers below:

Questions/Answers, Answers/Questions

Question: In what year was George V’s coronation?

Answer: 1910

Ask a parent, carer or study partner to write you questions (or answers) and then you write the answer (or possible question that would correspond to the answer).

You can also write your own questions. If you do this leave it at least a day until you answer them to see what you can remember after a while.

Always check and correct!

Flashcards

These are a very good and simple self testing tool, they can be physical or electronic.

To make your own, take some card and cut into rectangles, roughly 10cm x 6cm.

Write the keyword on one side and the definition on the other. Go through your cards looking at one side and seeing if you can remember the keyword/definition on the other side.

This video offers a really good guide for using them effectively:

How does Shelley create sympathy for the Monster?Most people who have not read the novel believe the Monster is evil, committing numerous crimes against humanity. However, Shelley carefully makes the reader aware that the Monster can in part be excused for these crimes, and is at heart a decent, kind and good creature. Sympathy is created through its speech, its actions, and the mistreatment it suffers. We first see the Monster through the eyes of Robert Walton, who describes it as being "of gigantic stature". This could arouse alarm rather than sympathy, and this alarm is reinforced when it is described in detail in chapter 5. Here, we find Victor call his creation a "catastrophe", "wretch" and "miserable monster". The Monster is hideous to look at and Victor feels he must run away to escape its clutches.

C. Key knowledge – plot summary

Set at the end of the 18th century, Frankenstein is told in the first

person by three different narrators: the explorer Robert Walton,

scientist Victor Frankenstein, and the unnamed Monster. The book is

written in the form of letters from Walton to his sister back in England,

re-telling events told to him after rescuing Frankenstein in the Arctic. By

using the device of a letter-writing narrator, Mary Shelley gives the

book a sense of realism that helps the reader to imagine that these

fantastical events really occurred.

(bounces off) an object at the

same angle it hits the object.

Refraction The change of speed and

direction of light as it goes

through different mediums

(substances).

Incident ray The ray that hits the mirror/ block

from your ray box.

Reflected

ray

The ray that reflects off the

mirror is called the reflected ray.

Normal There is an imaginary line at 90°

to the mirror called the normal,

this is where we measure angles

from.

Angle of

incidence

The angle between the incident

ray and the normal, is known as

the angle of incidence.

Angle of

reflection

The angle between the normal

and the reflected ray is called the

angle of reflection

Colour Three primary light colours; Red,

Green and Blue

Secondary light colours; Magenta,

Cyan and Yellow

The light topic will need you to draw accurate, labelled ray diagrams such as this.ALWAYS use a pencil and ruler and ALWAYS use an arrow to show the direction the ray is travelling in.

D. Job Sectors

Primary- farmer, miner, fisherman, tree fellerSecondary- factory workerTertiary- doctor, nurse, teacher, shop worker, taxi driver, receptionist, cleanerQuaternary- medical researcher, computer developer

C. Causes of globalisationImprovements in transportation - larger cargo ships mean that the cost of transporting goods between countries has decreased. Transport improvements also mean that goods and people can travel more quickly.Freedom of trade - organisations like the World Trade Organisation (WTO) promote free trade between countries, which help to remove barriers between countries.Improvements of communications - the internet and mobile technology has allowed greater communication between people in different countries.Labour availability and skills - countries such as India have lower labour costs (about a third of that of the UK) and also high skill levels. Labour intensive industries such as clothing can take advantage of cheaper labour costs and reduced legal restrictions in LEDCs.

A. Keywords:Globalisation- The process by which countries become interconnected. Economic sectors- the different types of jobs in a country.Outsourcing- when companies in a developed country move some of their jobs to developing countries because it is cheaper.Primary sector- jobs which involve the collection and gathering of raw materials.Quaternary sector- jobs which are involved in research and development of something new.Raw materials- materials which can be gathered or harvested naturally from the earth, for example plants, rocks and minerals.Secondary sector- jobs which process and manufacture products, usually in a factory.Sweatshops- factories found in developing countries, where workers get little pay and work in poor conditions.Tertiary sector- jobs which provide a service.

F. WAGALL: Describe and explain how jobs in the UK have changed through time.

Before the 1800s the majority of jobs in the UK would have been in the primary sector. Most people would have farmed the land to provide food for their families. People did not necessarily earn a wage, but instead would gather raw materials for trade. From approximately 1800 the secondary sector was the main job sector due to the Industrial revolution. New technology meant that the manufacturing of products became much quicker and easier, and this meant that the UK could produce more things to sell and trade overseas. From approximately 1960 the primary and secondary job sectors went into rapid decline, with the tertiary industry becoming more popular. This is due to the outsourcing of jobs to developing countries, as they can source the raw materials and manufacture them for a far cheaper price. In recent years the quaternary sector has become more popular, as more people are involved in the creation of new ICT and more money is put into medical research.

Interpretation one puts the viewpoint forward that life in the trenches was horrendous. I know this because it refers to the soldiers experiencing “the horrors of trench warfare”. By this the author means that the trenches were infested with rats, flooded, which caused trench foot, and went through daily life with dead bodies surrounding them.This is different from interpretation two as that sets forth the viewpoint that life was not all bad in the trenches as it shows British soldiers enjoying a drink of rum and laughing together. This highlights the sense of comradery between the soldiers fighting on the front, although terrible things happened during the fighting, down-time could still be enjoyed and even artwork created.

D. Key Knowledge: Life in the trenches Soldiers in the trenches did not get much sleep. When they did, it was in the afternoon during daylight and at night only for an hour at a time. They were woken up at different times, either to complete one of their daily chores or to fight. During rest time, they wrote letters and sometimes played card games. The trenches could be very muddy and smelly. There were many dead bodies buried nearby and the latrines (toilets) sometimes overflowed into the trenches. Millions of rats infested the trenches and some grew as big as cats. There was also a big problem with lice that tormented the soldiers on a daily basis.

C. Key Knowledge: Timeline of 1914 June 28 - Archduke Franz Ferdinand is assassinated in Sarajevo by a Serbian named Gavrilo Princip. July 23 - A-H demands Serbia pay they do not meet demands. July 28 - A-H declares war on Serbia. Russia begins mobilizing its troops. August 1 - Germany declares war on Russia. August 3 - Germany declares war on France as part of the Schlieffen Plan. August 4 - Germany invades Belgium. Britain declares war on Germany. August 23 to 30 - Germany defeats the Russian Second Army at the Battle of Tannenberg.September 5 to 12 - The advancing German army is stopped before Paris by the British and French at the First Battle of the Marne. The Germans dig in and four years of trench warfare begins.

using any other colours.

A. Keywords: B. Key Knowledge:• Tertiary colours are created by mixing a primary colour and the

secondary colour next to it on the colour wheel.

• Colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel are

called harmonious.

• Complementary colours are colours that are opposite each

other on the colour wheel. When complementary colours are

used together they create contrast. Adding a colour’s

complimentary colour will usually make a darker shade. This is

often preferable to adding black.

• Warm colours are colours on the red side of the wheel. These

are red and include orange, yellow and browns.

Subject: Drama Topic: ‘Pantomime’

B. What is a Pantomime?

A pantomime is a funny musical play for children. Pantomimes are usually based on fairy tales and are traditionally performed at Christmas. It is a participatory form of theatre, in which the audience is expected to sing along with certain parts of the music and shout out phrases to the performers.

D. Famous Pantomime Actors:

C. Commedia Dell’arte Influence:- Commedia dell'arte (a type of travelling street theatre), which came from Italy in the 16th century, had a huge influence on the modern day pantomime. - Commedia is a very physical type of theatre that uses dance, music, tumbling, acrobatics and ‘buffoonery’ – another term for ‘slapstick’ comedy. - Distinctive masks enabled audiences to recognise characters immediately; they also allowed actors to make topical and risqué jokes without fear of being recognised. Costume is an essential feature of the modern pantomime and, like the masks used in the Commedia performances, they enable the audience to quickly identify key stock characters.

A. Keywords:

Slapstick :- Comedy based on deliberately clumsy actions and humorously embarrassing events.

Split-scene :- When two scenes simultaneously occur on the stage (also called ‘cross-cutting’).

Plot (narrative) :- The main events of a play, presented by the writer as an interrelated sequence.

Audience Participation :- The active involvement of an audience in a live show.

Fairy Tale :- A story for children involving magical events and imaginary creatures.

Narration :- Telling the story (this can be included in OR separate to the action – third person narration).

Vocal Projection :- When actors use their voice loudly and clearly to ensure that the audience can hear them.

Stock Character :- Any fictional character drawn from some stereotype who is instantly recognisable, for e.g. a gentle giant.

Backstory :- The experiences of a character, or the circumstances of an event, that occur beforethe action of a play.

F. A Brief History of Pantomime:

Pantomime literally means “all kinds” of “mime”. It is generally acknowledged that British pantomime is modelled on the early masques of the Elizabethan and Stuart days. In the 14th century the early masques were musical, mime or spoken dramas, usually performed in grand houses although by the 17th century they were really no more than an excuse for a theme party!
