This card sort is great way to get students to sort through the causes and consequences of the murder of Thomas Becket. It is designed to fit around any main stream text book or video on this topic and provides differentiated support for lower and middle ability students.
Students are given eight cards with the causes and consequences mixed up and two headings labelled causes and consequences. This should take a core group no more than 10 minutes before feeding back and then sticking their cards into their books, whereas a low ability group might take 15 minutes. The process can be speeded up by getting students to create a key, rather than curring out the cards and then sticking the sheet into their books.
This active learning activity makes a great starter, mini plenary and plenary. When you purchase this activity, you will be able to download a single page Word document, which can be edited to suit your own students. I would personally read a text book, worksheet or watch a video clip before attempting the activity.
I have also included a straightforward six slide PowerPoint to help facilitate the card sort, it includes aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, two starters, one plenary, an activity page, a video link and a template.
