Complete lesson- high challenge for KS3/ KS4 pupils on the Assassination of Franz Ferdinand- the spark which started WWI.

Includes: Powerpoint with printable activities 2 x cartoon source analysis activities Video and questions (Link provided) Detailed exposition of events and key individuals Steps to war chronology task Analysis of causes of WWI Detailed information sheet Optional newspaper task

GCSE Medicine Revision Lotus diagrams

(0)
These revision diagrams are filled in as knowledge organisers to use to help students plan out the answers to the 12 and 16 markers on the later slides. The first five are just knowledge and understanding ones almost like knowledge organisers but then the following ones are set up around 12 and 16 mark exam questions. (See pics) Medieval Medicine 1250-1500, Renaissance 1500-1700, Industrial 1700-1900 and Modern 1900-Present and WWI Western Front Ideas on causes Ideas on treatment Ideas on prevention Changes/ continuity and reasons for change. For the WWI section it is a little different with problems, solutions, reasons for change and key words/ battles. You could always remove the knowledge if you wanted students to complete them themselves.
