This outstanding resource has been designed by experienced teachers to help provide stretch and challenge for students studying why the League of Nations failed to stop the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. It can be used as a starter, plenary, revision or assessment activity. If you are looking for something a little easier for middle and lower ability students, then check out my card sort matching exercise on this topic. The resource includes nine diamond shaped cards which include a range of factors to explain why the League of Nations failed to stop the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. The document is provided in Microsoft Word so you can edit the resource if you wish to customise it further by changing any of the key factors that I have included. Once students have cut out the cards out they are set three tasks including: 1. Remove any reasons that you don’t think are important. Record and explain why you have removed them. 2. Arrange the remaining diamonds to show any links that you can find between the different reasons. Record and explain your reasons. 3. Make a smaller diamond shape using the four most important reasons to explain why the League of Nations failed to stop the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. Record and explain the reasons for your choices. At each stage students should be feeding back to their group or the class and explaining their choices. The discussion and explanation around the choices that they have made are critical in helping them develop their understanding of the topic. The aims and objectives for this lesson are: Theme: Why did the League of Nations fail? Know: What sanctions did the League of Nations impose on Japan? Understand: Why did the League fail to stop the Japanese invasion of Manchuria? Evaluate: Which factors were the most important? WILF - What Am I Looking For?

This outstanding resource is a simple card sort that can be used with a range of abilities from foundation to gifted and talented. It looks at one of the most important turning point in both Irish and British History, the Battle of the Boyne, 1690 whose consequences still echo down to the present day. 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? WILF - What Am I Looking For?
