Leap from GCSE to Sixth Form 2: understanding your subject (4 mins 30 sec) captioned video

GETTING THE GRADES VIDEO with plenary slide at the end - ask students to state what they already think they do and what new behaviour they need to adopt

Video. Leap from GCSE to Sixth Form 2: Understanding your subject (4 mins 30 sec) with mini plenary discussion half way through and a discussion activity at the end.

Ideal for induction but also for intervention later in the year for those who have yet to wake up and understand the demands of sixth form are different from GCSE.

The video informs students that GCSEs involve a lot of recall whereas A-Level (or the like) involve much more thought, analysis and application. The fact that novel scenarios can be presented in exams shows that students must allocate a lot of time to understand all of the course content.
