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.
The aims and objectives are as follows:
Theme: Why did Henry Break with Rome?
Know: What were the key reasons for his decision?
Understand: What roles did power, religion, money and personal problems play in his decision?
Evaluate: Which was the most important factor?

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. It has been refined and field tested in the classroom for over 30 Years.

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.
The aims and objectives for this lesson are:
Theme: The American West
Know: What were the key reasons why maintaining law & order was difficult?
Understand: What roles did social, economic, geographical factors as well as the values and attitudes play of the people at the time, play in making law enforcement difficult?
Evaluate: Which was the most important factor?

This great resource is designed to be used a starter or plenary to help students sort through the chronology of what happened during the Gunpowder Plot in 1605. It is designed to work alongside any main stream resource or video on this topic. I have designed a lesson around this resource using the PowerPoint to drive the main activities which would suit a primary school or lower ability group at secondary group. If you are looking for a more challenging resource, I have also uploaded work suitable for higher ability students.
When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a twelve slide PowerPoint presentations with starters, plenaries, historical sources, information slides and video clips to support the main activity. You will also be able to download a Microsoft word document with a copy of the key events.
I normally keep a copy of the card sort in 15 envelopes and get me students to quickly order them into the order in which they think it happened before feeding back to a class discussion. This takes about 3 minutes. However, you can also give it out as a sheet and ask them to cut out the cards and stick them into your book. This can take up to 15 minutes. If you are being observed it might be an idea to get your students to sort the cards at the beginning to help you evaluate what they know and then do it again at the end to help you demonstrate progress.
This is a tried and trusted resource which has never failed to ignite my learners interest in the topic. The aims and objectives of this lesson are:
Theme: The consequences of the Break with Rome
Know: What happened during the Gunpowder Plot in 1605?
Understand: Why would the Catholics want to kill the king and parliament?
Evaluate: How far does the historical evidence support that Guy Fawkes was framed?

The card sort can be used a starter or plenary. It contains two heading cards labelled ‘Causes of the Battle of the Boyne’ and ‘Consequences of the Battle of the Boyne.’ Students are instructed to sort through fourteen cards. I have deliberately included more consequence cards, than causes cards. They are written with a neutral, non judgemental tone allowing students to form their own opinions.
Aims and objectives:
Theme: Making of the United Kingdom
Know: What were the causes and consequences of the Battle of the Boyne?
Understand: Why was the Battle of the Boyne a significant turning point?
Analyse: What were the long term consequences?
