Causes of the Spanish Civil War: Interactive Newsfeed [interactive]
Students complete a series of notes "against the clock" using this interactive newsfeed activity which gives them a detailed account of the main events in Spanish History leading up to the outbreak of the Civil War in 1936. They then use their completed notes to complete this timeline worksheet, organising their ideas into those which promoted stability, and those which promoted instability. Finally, events are colour coded according to whether they are social, religious, military, regional or political in nature. Follow-up questions help students to reach some provisional conclusions. |
