This clever little card sort can be used as a starter or plenary exercise on the impact of the Roman invasion of Britain in AD 43.
Students have two headings and have to cut out the cards and sort them under one of two headings, Britain before the Roman invasion and Britain after the invasion.
For more able students I have included an extension exercise or discussion point for the class asking them to assess whether life for ordinary people improved or got worse after the invasion.
If you have an especially bright group, you could ask them to create a key to identify which cards were to do with religion, money, transport or power.

The great little card sort is designed to get students to match the key words from Roman society with their meaning or definition.
This could be used as a fun starter to check what they already know or as a plenary or mini plenary to check what they have learnt whilst teaching this topic.
The instructions on the sheet are as follows:
Option 1: Cut out the cards and match them to their correct meanings or definitions.
Option 2: Match the cards with their correct meaning and then write them out as a complete sentence.

A simple chronological card sort exercise on Hannibal and the Punic wars with Rome.
This could be used as starter or plenary. I would ideally recommend reviewing the story before having a go at the card sort exercise.
The document is in word so you can easily adapt them to suit your own text books or worksheet.

This outstanding resource which has been field tested in the classroom on many occasions, gets students to review the work of the league of Nations in the 1920s and 30s and decide whether the statements are correct by ticking 'yes' or 'no'. They the have to give some supporting evidence to back up their decision.
Once completed successfully, students should then see the connections between the Leagues successes and failures be able to come to an overall judgement about why it failed.
This resource could be completed prior to doing an exam or writing an essay. Its an all round nice little add on that works well as a starter or plenary.
Aims and Objectives:
Theme: League of Nations 1919 - 1939
Know: What action did the League of Nations take to prevent war?
Understand: How successful was the League of Nations?
Evaluate: Why did the League of Nations fail in the 1930s?
WILF: What Am I looking For?
Identify and describe: What action did the League of Nations take to prevent war?
Explain: How successful was the League of Nations at tackling international conflict?
Analysis: Why did the League of Nations fail in the 1930s?

This great little resource has been adapted and used many of my podcasts and interactivities that I have written for other companies. It looks at how successful the League of Nations was in the 1920s by looking at series of disputes including Vilna 1921, the Aaland islands, Upper Silesia 1921, the economic collapse of Austria 1923, Corfu 1923 and the Greek - Bulgarian dispute in 1925.
The worksheet that I have included covers each of these disputes in turn. There are a number of different ways of approaching the topic. You can set it up as a market garden activity for core and gifted and talented students and have them working in rotation on each dispute. With a weaker group you could read each dispute together with a highlighter pen and get them to complete the Venn diagram that I have provided in the resource to decide whether the dispute was settled successfully or not or even maybe a bit of a fudge. If you decide to download and use the PowerPoint that I have provided, you could complete the table activity with its two headings, what happened, what did the League do, success or failure.
So in summary, I've provided a snowballing starter, differentiated aims, objectives and outcomes in the PowerPoint. Meanwhile the worksheet has two graphic organisers and a revision activity to help you check their progress. Finally, I have included a past paper OCR question with a pupil mark scheme and question guide, all for the bargain price listed!
Anyway, have fun teaching this topic, its great for discussion and don't forget to point out to your students that the Aaland island settlement is still in force today!
