1 hour English Language- This one was completed YAY!! I made mind maps for 'London' by William Blake
•
1 hour Maths- This one was started but not completed- oops.... I only did 10 minutes for which I watched a video on Maths Watch
•
1 hour Religious Studies- I did not complete this, but I did 40 minutes so it wasn't a complete fail. I watched videos on youtube (MrMcMillianREvise) and I made a few notes
•
Short Spanish- I watched a 20 minute video on youtube (ButterflySpanish) on reflexive verbs
•
1 hour of DoE Skills- Nope, this was a complete fail....
•
1 Hour History- This was completed, YAAAAY!! For this I watched a online video on Weimar Germany (sorry I've forgotten who it was by on youtube) and I made three pages of notes.
•
1 Hour English Literature- I am really annoyed at myself for this one. I did 50 minutes and had the intention to listen to a 10 minute podcast on 'An Inspector Calls' (mrbruff) before I went to sleep. But I forgot. Anyways, for this one I read through the overall summary and studied Act One parts 1,2 and 3. I did this with a York Notes Study Guide whilst making notes. And to finish off I watched a review video by mrbruff on youtube.
•
1 Hour Spanish- Completed!! I wrote notes on reflexive verbs from the video I watched the day before. I then proceeded to learn some reflexive verbs on Quizlet. After this, I went onto Kerboodle (where there are online textbooks and quizzes) where I read some more on Reflexive verbs (as I was still a little confused) and I took a few tests.
•
DoE Skills- And again I did not do this....

1 Hour English Language: I did this and it seemed to be quite easy to get through which was unusual for me as I normally find English Language quite an endower to get through. But this was probably because halfway through a speaker I ordered arrived so I had a long break setting it up. So for English Lang. I made notes on the poem 'Remains' using BBC Bitesize. However, I have no idea how to revise how to improve my writing style/ voice/ whatever it is called. I've tried writing answers over and over again but it doesn't seem to be working. Does anyone have any advice on how to improve the quality of writing? I would really appreciate any input!
•
1 Hour Maths: This was completed. I started with the intention of beginning to go through all the videos on Maths Watch. However it turned out that the videos started with grade 1 stuff and this would have been a waste of my time if I were to watch all the videos on it. So instead I did some work on Transformation of functions. This is because I know my class are going to start this soon so it's good to have a little knowledge on the subject before the lesson.
•
1 Hour Spanish: Again this was completed. But I was finding it hard to concentrate and get work done when I started this. So I played pop music, which is a large contrast to the classical music I normally listen to when I revise as it helps me concentrate. I also wrote in bright colours for notes. This made the act of revising the Spanish more enjoyable. For Spanish, I made some notes on the video I watched before Christmas (The uses of Ser and Estar). I then took a few tests on the conjugations of the verbs to make sure I knew them. Then for the rest of the hour, I learned some vocab on Quizlet.
•
1 Hour Religious Studies: I have not done this yet, but I intend to listen to some podcasts or watch a few videos after I've posted this (so I'll let you know tomorrow whether I did it or not). It probably will not add up to 1 hour though but RS is not something which I am struggling in so I'm not too fussed if I don't get the hour.
•
Finish Science Project
•
Go through at least 20 terms on Quizlet for Spanish
•
AT LEAST on hour on DoE Skills (I am about two weeks behind....)
•
Choose an essay question for English Lit. and begin planning the answer
•
Begin History revision sheets (1 Hour)
•
Read the chapter on the Circulatory System in Biology textbook
•
Go through at least 50 terms on Quizlet for Spanish
•
Finish Science Project: Doooonnnnneeeee! Not much to say really, it was just a powerpoint thingy on my current Biology topic.
•
Go through at least 50 terms on Quizlet: Tick! I did 58 and it actually took less time that I expected so I think I will aim to do more next time.
•
At least an hour of DoE Skills: I did this- but only the minimum of one hour. This was because I only just understood what I was going over in that hour and I didn't want to confuse myself.
•
Choose an essay question for English Lit. and plan it: This was done, I actually ended up getting the question from an English textbook which is great as it has a marking scheme at the back. For the plan I started to revise more into the subject and made a rough plan of the paragraphs.
•
Begin history revision (for a least an hour): This is the one I failed. I did start it- but only got thirty minutes done. I would have got the rest done if I hadn't decided to make the deadly decision to dive into YouTube (oops).
•
Read the chapter on the Circulatory system in the Biology textbook: Completed. Again, not much to say.
•
1 Hour of DoE Skills (I am still a week or two behind): This wasn't even started.....
•
100 terms on Quizlet for Spanish: Fortunately, this was completed!
•
Write the essay for English Lit.: This wasn't stated because I decided that I did not have the amount of information I wanted to write it. So instead I did some research on the topic of my essay question and put all the information into a document.
•
Re-read Biology chapter: This was done.
•
Continue making revision sheets for History (1 Hour): This was also done, the title pretty much says it all- I went through my notes in my school book and condensed some of it into a few pages.
•
Begin writing up Drama notes (incase my school does not allow me to switch Drama for Geography): I didn't even attempt to start this, oops...
•
Revise Chemistry (About an hour): I only did about ten minutes of this before giving up, oops again...
1.
Be more productive: I'm not normally the most productive person, but I hope to change this to affect my school work and hopefully help in the next one:
2.
Improve my grades: As I have stated in the first post thingy on here, I am not pleased at all with my current grades. I didn't try much last year and I am paying the price for it this year. But ideally I should be able to improve them dramatically by doing a lot more revision and trying harder.
3.
Move up a science set: I mentioned this as one of my goals in the first post as well, but I thought I'd include it here as well. I got moved down a set in science this year which I am really annoyed at myself for. However I am hoping to improve my grades in science enough for me to move up.
4.
Not be the worst in the set!: So, except for science, I am in the top set for all my classes. But I am normally one of the (or the) worst achieving in that class. This is something which I want to make a change in. Again, this all really links in with being more productive. I am going to work as hard as I can to make sure that I am not that person.

Research briefly into new History topic: This was completed but I did not do much and just watched a short video.
•
1 Hour DoE Skills (I wouldn't be super annoyed with myself if I did not complete this but I'm going to try as it would be nice to get it done) Yeah, this was not done.
