Excellent for a starter or plenary, but also to be printed as a small slip and stuck in the students books for things like ‘3 reasons’ or ‘two consequences’ questions.

EXAMPLE 2: Explaining to a character
In this one, we are explaining to Hitler, or any leader or person, why something happened or how it came about. In this one, the speaker is explaining why the Putsch failed. It could also be to Henry VIII about why he should close the monasteries, or to William the Conquerer why he should invade England, or maybe to Kennedy why the Bay of Pigs was a failure.

Task: Explain to Hitler three reasons why his Munich Putsch failed. Make sure you study your book to find three clear reasons.
