What was the international response to the Abyssinian Crisis and why was it so weak?

This fully resourced lesson begins with a Starter Activity in which students are invited to play a game of Play Your Cards Right in order to test chronological understanding of some of the key reasons for the invasion.
The title is then introduced along with graduated criteria (all will/most will/some will).
There then follows some slides of teacher exposition on what actually happened as well as the international response/consequences and students are given a template (a newspaper template with headings which match the eight points discussed) on which to jot down key names, dates, people, places, events, quotations, and statistics. When they have achieved this, they then write up their own newspaper (you can give them the editable PPT template or just print it off).
A completed example is given, and students are brought back to the criteria to show progress made. Areas/subheadings which will have been covered include:

1. What was the Wal Wal Incident
2. Full on invasion and weapons on both sides
3. Nature of the fighting
4. The Emperor of Abyssinia
5. Facts and figures
6. Speech at the League of Nations
7. The international response
8. Consequences
   There is then a charades plenary for students to recap the knowledge of key vocabulary covered (this also words as a game of Pictionary.)
   I hope your students get as much out of this lesson as mine always do.
