These 12 revision cards cover all the keycauses of the American Civil War. They make an excellent starter, plenary or revision activity. I originally made these cards for my Sixth Formers who loved them so much they said 'why don't you sell these sir, they are great.' So here they are :-) There are three main ways that you can use them. Game 1 involves getting students to read out the key words until the other guesses the topic correctly. Game 2 involves additional challenge and stretch by getting students to describe the topic without using any of the key words on the card. The third game, which adds an additional layer of fun or challenge involves playing a round of Pictionary or Charades. I normally give my students 3 minutes for each round to help activate the learning and warm up the class. You could also have a freestyle round where students decide which game they want to play linked to their learning style. You can also add some competition and get your students to keep score in the back of their books or to do competitive presentations or talks where they have to use all the key facts on the flash card, whilst the rest of the class peer assess using their own cards. I would recommend printing them off on card and getting your students to cut them out. Then put the cards into an envelope for class use. From a revision perspective, you can print off the cards and get your students to learn the key words for a test or for their exams. These are a win, win resource. The kids will love them and they will help to improve your results. The learning objectives for this resource are: Theme: American Civil War Know: What were the key events leading up to the outbreak of the American Civil War? Understand: What were the main causes of the American Civil War? Evaluate: Which factor was the most important? WILF - What Am I Looking For? Identify and describe: The chain of events that led to the outbreak of the American Civil War? Explain: What were the main causes of the American Civil War?

This great resource is designed to help students understand why the US economy boomed in the 1920’s.

This lesson has been created to help students understand how England was governed during Elizabeth I’s reign. It looks at the power of the monarch, Secretary of State, the Privy Council, parliament, the Lord Lieutenants, JPs and the royal favourites.

The main activity aims to get students to review the information and compete the table in slide 10 and describe the role played by each area of the government and how it helped Elizabeth I to govern the country. In the past, I have found this a challenging topic to teach so in order to help students make effective notes and demonstrate their understanding of how the Elizabethan government functioned, I have provided them with a table with key summary of how each section of the government worked and a task to get them them to highlight and describe its role and how it helped Elizabeth to govern the country. This activity is followed up by a thinking skills review activity to help support students answer the question, who had the most influence within the government. The next set of activities involves getting student to either use their text books or the information I’ve provided in the next few slides to research the backgrounds of key individuals at the royal court and what we can learn about who held power and how people were promoted at court. If you wish you could print off the information slides on William Cecil, Walsingham, Dudley and Sir Christopher Hatton and use them as mark place activity. This exercise serves as a useful case study and consolidation exercise to help students understand the importance of loyalty and royal favour in helping to advance peoples careers. The aims and objectives for this lesson are: Theme: Elizabethan England Know: What was the Royal Court? Understand: How was the court and government organised?
