Cause and Consequence
AQA UAS ‘History around us’ · GROW tier
🎯 Learning objective: I can build a multi-causal explanation, rank factors using evidence and distinguish background condition from trigger/contributing factor.
✅ Success criteria
- I can classify motives, wider conditions, networks and triggers.
- I can link causes rather than list them.
- I can rank a main factor and qualify the judgement with contributing factors.

Define push/pull and name one source-backed migration factor.
▲ Standard
Distinguish background condition and trigger in a supplied scenario.

How do personal motives, wider conditions and triggers combine to cause migration?
A job opportunity can matter—but would the same job offer cause every person to move? What else controls the decision?

👩🏫 I Do · model defensible reasoning🧠 Reveal one controlled decision at a time.
Build a causal web from evidence: personal motive, wider economic/social condition, network/support and trigger.
Use links such as enabled, intensified, made possible, made urgent; avoid cause lists.
Rank only after the web is built; a rank without interaction can oversimplify.

Consequence is not always intended and can be short/long term, for different groups/places.
Use source evidence to support causal links and identify where evidence is thinner.

📜 Independent · defensible evidence📜 Independent historian mission
Build a source-backed causal ranking: multi-cause web, identify main factor for a stated person/group/context, two contributing factors, trigger/condition distinction and one counterexample/qualification.
16 minutes. Challenge routes alter reasoning demand, not source readability/access.
📚 HISTORY EVIDENCE READY
MaterialsLocally approved/credited source, clue, atlas/map or Week 6 plan/support materials appropriate to this lesson.
Access / carePersonal/family disclosure is optional. Provide enlarged/chunked/transcribed/audio/colour-safe source routes as needed. W7 uses only pre-agreed assessment access.
Evidence targetCausal web/ranking + evidence references + qualified explanation and one consequence/counterexample.
◆ 5–6 cause cards + one because/which meant chain + guided main-factor choice.
Cause → because → made ___ more likely/possible.

▲ Standard
Explain one judgement plus a limitation/qualification.
★ Stretch
Transfer today’s historian routine to an unfamiliar source/question and weigh an alternative interpretation.
🔁 GROW Humanities close
VOICE: Pupil may disagree with ranking if evidence/reason is explicit; no personal migration disclosure required.
AUDIENCE: adult genuinely receives and names the reasoning before R.
INFLUENCE: Causal rankings determine Week 4 person/community options and questions.
No second closure/receipt system is added. The shared Reading the Response approach remains the interpretation route.
