This fun and engaging activity delves into the primary factors influencing Henry VIII’s break with Rome, offering students a comprehensive exploration through a card sort exercise and a critical thinking review triangle activity. The resource “Card Sort - Henry VIII’s Problems” presents students with four key headings: power, religion, money, and personal, under which they can categorize the 14 accompanying cards, each representing different aspects of the historical context. Following the card sorting activity, students are encouraged to participate in the review triangle exercise, ideally in pairs or groups. Each group selects a representative to share and justify their categorizations on the Interactive Whiteboard (IWB), fostering discussion and critical thinking. The insights gained from both the card sort and review triangle activities can be leveraged alongside existing classroom materials to inspire students to craft essays or extended pieces of writing on the complex topic of Henry VIII’s separation from Rome, encouraging deeper reflection and analysis. This multi-faceted approach not only enhances students’ understanding of history but also cultivates their analytical skills and ability to construct well-reasoned arguments based on historical evidence. When you purchase this lesson you will be able to download a two page word document that contains the card sort and review triangle exercise. Everything has also been uploaded as a PDF.

This outstanding resource is designed to help students analysing the key reasons why it was difficult to maintain law and order in the American West. It is followed up by a thinking skills review triangle activity to help students decide which factor was the most important. Both activities can be used as a revision exercise, starter or plenary and will work along side any main stream text book or resource on the American West. The first resource entitled 'Card Sort - Why was law and order a problem in the West?', includes five headings under which the students can sort the rest of the cards. These are political, social, economic, geographical, values and attitudes. The rest of the resource then includes 11 cards which can be matched to the headings. Once the cards have been sorted, the students should then be able to move onto the review triangle activity. This is best done in pairs or groups, with one person from each group feeding back their results onto the IWB and explaining their choice. The results from the review triangle and the card sort can then be used, along with any of your other classroom resources, as a basis for students writing an essay or extended piece of writing on this topic.
