What was the state of the Catholic Church on the eve of the Reformation? - Historians bitterly argue as to whether the Catholic Church was corrupt and unpopular on the eve of the Reformation. This worksheet allows students to compare the different viewpoints and consider the evidence for each.
A new interactive exercise for A-Level / IB History students in which students are presented with a series of news feeds about the Kronstadt Rebellion of 1921 which spelt the end of War Communism and the introduction of the New Economic Policy (NEP).
Students compare the views of Ranke, Steinmetz and Reinhard in this worksheet - both in terms of the geographical area which each said the Reformation should cover, and also in terms of whether they regarded the Reformation as being motivated by religious or social factors.
What time period should be used in a study of the German Reformation? - This worksheet encourages students to compare the views of Bainton, Oberman and Schilling through the means of a classroom debate.
Why not give students a basic timeline of events, then ask them to convert it into a “Facebook Newsfeed” as shown here?
For IB / A-Level historians. Students take a detailed timeline of events and place each event into one of three columns: political damage, military damage, socio-economic damage. From this they decide when exactly the Tsar lost control of the politicians, the armed forced and the ordinary people. They then put each of these crises in a mid-term perspective (using the work done in the previous lesson) and then a long-term perspective (using notes from the computer simulation and earlier worksheets).
