Card Sort: Was General Haig the 'Butcher of the Somme'?

Card Sort: Was General Haig the 'Butcher of the Somme'?

(0)
This tried and tested card sort looks at the controversial topic of General Haig's leadership during the Battle of the Somme. Students are given two heading cards labelled 'Butcher of the Somme' and the 'Man who won the war.' However, depending upon how you decide to use them you could change them to 'evidence for and 'evidence against' as the document is in word. In addition to the headings cards, students are given 14 statements to sort through. These are based on the latest research on the topic. This activity is suitable for a wide range of learners and could be used as the basis of an assessment task or extended writing activity. Aims & Objectives Theme: Why was there a stalemate on the Western Front? Know: What tactics did General Haig use at the Battle of the Somme in 1916? Understand: Why did the Battle of the Somme end in a stalemate? Evaluate: Was General Haig the 'Butcher of the Somme? WILF: What Am I Looking For? Identify and describe- What happened during the Battle of the Somme in 1916? Explain - Why did Haig's tactics fail to achieve a breakthrough? Analyse - How far was Haig's responsible for the failure to break through in 1916? Professional Knowledge For those of you who are new to the profession, this topic is controversial for a number of reasons. Firstly, the leadership of the British Army during the war is traditionally described by some historians as 'lions led by donkeys.' Please note that this interpretation first grew out a dissatisfaction with the Treaty of Versailles and the concept that the First World War would be the 'War to end all wars' in the 1930's. Clearly by then, many of the sacrifices appeared to have been in vain with the rise of Hitler and the threat of war. However, in the immediate aftermath of the First World War, Haig was seen as a hero. He was also the man who set up the Royal British Legion and began the first poppy appeal. Secondly, this topic is controversial for many of our Australian cousins whose sense of national identity grew out of their frustration and anger over the disaster at Gallipoli. This has led to feeling that the British tactics were a complete failure in all theatres of war and has led to the writing of some pretty bad popular history by Australian tour guides like John Laffin in his book ‘British Butchers and Bunglers of WW1' to almost justify the Republican Movement in Australia. History as always is controversial. Historians create a hierarchy of facts to suit their own interpretations. This exercise gets students to have a go at creating their own! I have also created a PowerPoint to accompany this topic, which can be downloaded separately or as part of a discounted package. Kind Regards Roy

The aims and objectives of this lesson are: Theme: The American West Know: What were the terms of the Homestead Act of 1862? Understand: What were the achievements and limitations of the act?

How successful was the League of Nations in the 1920s?

This great little resource has been adapted and used many of my podcasts and interactivities that I have written for other companies. It looks at how successful the League of Nations was in the 1920s by looking at series of disputes including Vilna 1921, the Aaland islands, Upper Silesia 1921, the economic collapse of Austria 1923, Corfu 1923 and the Greek - Bulgarian dispute in 1925. The worksheet that I have included covers each of these disputes in turn. There are a number of different ways of approaching the topic. You can set it up as a market garden activity for core and gifted and talented students and have them working in rotation on each dispute. With a weaker group you could read each dispute together with a highlighter pen and get them to complete the Venn diagram that I have provided in the resource to decide whether the dispute was settled successfully or not or even maybe a bit of a fudge. If you decide to download and use the PowerPoint that I have provided, you could complete the table activity with its two headings, what happened, what did the League do, success or failure. So in summary, I've provided a snowballing starter, differentiated aims, objectives and outcomes in the PowerPoint. Meanwhile the worksheet has two graphic organisers and a revision activity to help you check their progress. Finally, I have included a past paper OCR question with a pupil mark scheme and question guide, all for the bargain price listed! Anyway, have fun teaching this topic, its great for discussion and don't forget to point out to your students that the Aaland island settlement is still in force today! Kind Regards Roy
