An activity to help students understand the underlying causes behind the Anglo-Welsh Wars of the late C13th.

The ppt is basically a walk through of the card resources with visuals and some additional info. I’ve designed this as one of my Controlled Assessments Tasks (WJEC) and therefore have added 14 sources for students to choose 5 in order to evaluate. These may be of use for developing utility questions from Year 7 upwards (but you’ll have to adapt and simplify). Enjoy!
