A **20 slide presentation **for students investigating why states fail. Lots of opportunity for discussion, activites can be added if you wish. It approaches the question from the basis that a nation state is an idea, and not innate, as proposed by many but most recently by Yuval Noah Harari in his book ‘Sapiens’. In this presentation, students will be given the main indicators as to why states fail (with examples, i.e. comparing USA to Mexico, South Korea to North Korea) along with how ideas can change the direction of a state.

DIRT (Dedicated Improvement and Reflection Time) is a great way for students to act upon the feedback that you have given as their teacher. I have designed these editable DIRT Feedback sheets that correspond with the Cambridge History A Level Assessment Objectives. The sheets are handed out to the students who find the corresponding assessment code on their work in order to do the task on the sheet. This means they are actively responding to my feedback, it saves me time marking and the students are reminded of what exactly it is we are assessing them on. Once they have handed back their corrections/tasks, they complete the ‘Next Steps’ section, where they have to write down HOW they are going to improve in the future. This also informs you how best to support your students going forward. These sheets can be used in conjunction with your school’s setting of SMART Targets. This is an editable presentation for you to amend if needed. Please do not share.

This one is for learning about Napoleon Bonaparte’s initiatives as First Consul (CIE A level History)
