Why did the Schlieffen Plan fail essay writing activity (no writing involved!)

<p>This activity is designed to help students think about the construction of an effective essay- (organising and communicating ideas). The instructions are at the end of the document and hopefully should be clear. I have used the same style activity with all age groups; as it is easily adaptable to different topics. You will see the difference in students writing style immediately. I have also attached a literacy exercise that can be done after this to consolidate understanding of the reasons why the SP failed.</p>
