Unlocking the complexities of the French Revolution’s long-term causes, encompassing political, economic, social, and intellectual origins, can be challenging for students. This engaging and carefully designed activity utilises an interactive card sort to help students assess the relative importance of these factors, making it suitable for a wide range of abilities. The activity includes a stretch and challenge task for more advanced learners.
This comprehensive resource provides everything you need to deliver a successful lesson: an editable Word document containing three heading cards (economic, social, and political) and 20 information cards for students to sort, a PDF version for convenience, an answer sheet, and an 18-slide PowerPoint presentation. The PowerPoint features clear aims and objectives, engaging starters and plenaries, quality-assured video clips, informative slides, interactive tasks and activities, a peer assessment task, homework suggestions, and a word search focusing on key vocabulary.
This versatile resource offers flexibility for diverse learning styles and time constraints. It can be used as a starter or plenary, completed in pairs or groups, or even assigned as homework. The cards can be cut up for individual student use or placed into envelopes for multiple classes. For time-saving convenience, the statements are labeled, allowing students to select the correct letters or use highlighters for easy identification. For a closer look at the activity and its features, please view the preview.
