In this History video, teachers are introduced to the skills needed to help the children understand the relationship between causes, events and consequences. The video explores how the children can distinguish between short- and long-term causes, assess consequences and interpret the impact of historical events. Teachers are guided on using visual tools such as diagrams to help the children organise, sort and evaluate causes and consequences effectively. Practical strategies support the children in developing analytical thinking, forming judgments and understanding historical change. The video ensures teachers can confidently guide the children to explore how events are connected and how their outcomes shaped past societies.

This teacher video is part of Kapow Primary’s History skills videos, designed to build teachers’ confidence and skills in supporting the children to analyse causes, events and consequences in the past.
