The first lesson in a unit of work looking at WWI. This lesson introduces the conflict and supports students in analysing the significance of WWI using clear criteria. The lesson is accompanied by the handout that provides activities and information to fill out student understanding of the conflict and how to evaluate it.

A lesson that begins the enquiry - to what extent was WWI caused by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand (positioned to students as: “Did a single murder trigger the war to end all wars?”) Students engage with the first order concept of nationalism and then overlay this with the second order concept of causation. Activities are scaffolded with clear objectives. The powerpoint is accompanied by country-specific information relating to nationalism.

A lesson within a wider unit of work, analysing the different causes of WWI. This lesson provides a narrative of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. As this is heavily based on narrative, rather than effectively designed resources, I will share it for free so you can take what you’d find useful.

A short lesson within a wider enquiry, analysing the causes of WWI. This lesson provides an overview of the Schlieffen Plan, making use of an external video that can be accessed by the URL within the notes. Should you not wish to use that external resource, the lesson still provides an overview of the plan, as well as criteria for the analysis of causation.

The fifth lesson in a unit looking at the causes of WWI. This lesson looks at how the desire for empire triggered the Moroccan Crises, using a clear case study which can then be connected to WWI. The Moroccan Crises are subsequently compared to the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, so that students are comparing specific events as causes. The PowerPoint is supported by a narrative of both crises, as well as a table for consolidating knowledge.

The sixth lesson in a unit of work looking at the causes of WWI. This lesson provides a detailed analysis of the various qualities of the different weapons, vehicles and national armies. This is initially engaged with through a card game (rules - students select an attribute without first stating their score. They then compare attributes of the different cards, with the winner taking the other players card(s) and then going first on the next round. Continue until there is a winner), with the justification for some of these scores given in the notes of the relevant slide. The rest of the lesson then provides an overview of how this militarism changes over time, before finally concluding in a writing task. Scaffolding is provided for analysing causality.
