The idea is that circle questions are easy, diamonds are moderatly challenging and star questions are challenging. I’ve made this with questions such as “what can you use to find new vocabulary”, very simple and reinforces some basic classroom routines.
Next time I do this I will change the star questions to diamonds and move everything else up a row so a circle row disappears off the top. I will then write new star questions at the bottom.

If you have any corrections, particularly with the historical facts then please get in touch. I used multiple sources and sometimes the dates given were contradictory.
If you feel like there is a historical fact that is essential and missing then comment below and I will amend and re-upload at some point in the near future. The idea is to expose students to as much history as possible from around the world.
