Why did Franco win the Spanish Civil War? - 11-page full lesson (notes, domino task, plenary)

Why did Franco win the Spanish Civil War? - 11-page full lesson (notes, domino task, plenary)

(1)
In this lesson students read through incredibly detailed notes designed to really boost their subject knowledge and understanding of factors which caused Franco’s nationalists to prevail in the Spanish Civil War. Students then complete a mix and match dominoes activity to test their comprehension before completing the lesson with a ‘find someone who’ activity which involves them interviewing classmates to complete differentiated tasks. This lesson is pitched at very able students and my classes always find these notes and approach an excellent way to grasp the topic. I hope this lesson can be of use to you and if so please feel free to browse through my other resources in my shop. Best wishes, Daniel

I use this as an introduction to Historical skills for my 7th graders and it works really well. Students are given background knowledge and then handed the 13 sources in order. As they receive them they discuss what can be inferred from each piece of evidence and complete the history mystery grid. This is a great lesson designed to get students thinking and handling evidence. I hope your students enjoy it as much as mine do! It also works really well as a transition lesson for students coming to high school and perhaps studying History as a specialist discipline for the first time. This activity sets students up really well for a piece of follow up Historical writing.

Students learn precise supporting material which really boosts examination success. These aides can be reversed so students can test each other by reading the answers first and guessing the topic also.

I take great pride in these posters and know how much better they make my classroom look and so I hope you find them useful too! I cover my classroom in them each year and often get cited as the best looking classroom in the school. They cover a range of topics and periods and have deliberately been designed to stimulate thought and discussion in the History classroom. Many of the posters have a quote with either a picture or fact which contradicts it. Others are designed to be hard hitting and in some cases provoke outrage. Using these posters will improve the texture of your teaching by ensuring students are constantly immersed in a rich learning atmosphere/environment. Also, as I create new ones I constantly update this pack. Just print them off in A3 colour and laminate et voila! I have included them as individual documents so they’re easier to print but have also included the original PPT in which I created them in case you want to add any of your own within the original fonts etc.
