CAUSE CLAIM→SOURCE EVIDENCE→ETHICAL REASON
Supported · sort and explain with supplied frames · Standard · build a multi-cause explanation and compare reasons · Stretch · evaluate causal weight and ethical tension
Staff card: preserve historical uncertainty and ethical reasoning; do not convert adult wording into a learner conclusion.
Source drawer: named approved extracts, provenance labels and authorised classroom context only.
Tool modal: cause map, reason matrix and print route remain offline.
▲ Standard
Write a multi-cause explanation with source locators and linked factors, then compare ethical reasons and justify a provisional decision with one uncertainty.
★ Stretch
Evaluate the relative weight of competing causes, test a counterfactual carefully, compare ethical frameworks and defend a judgement while acknowledging a credible alternative and evidential limit.
Truth boundary: never backdate, never reconstruct a quotation, never stage an event, and never convert adult wording into the learner’s voice. Use only school-approved local materials. No diagnosis or medical advice. No personal or family disclosure. Learning does not depend on a runtime connection. No open runtime link. Never invent a result, date, quotation, event, audience response or learner wording. Use only the named school-approved local conflict source pack and supplied ethical scenario. No diagnosis or medical advice. No personal or family disclosure. Do not ask for a learner's conflict, trauma, bereavement, political allegiance, religious belief, military connection or moral confession. Do not imitate violence, stage testimony or use open runtime links. A learner may pause, use a private route, observe, or direct an adult without losing the learning entitlement.

Vocabulary in use
- CAUSE in conflict causation and ethical decision-making: a factor that helps explain why an event happened. Apply CAUSE when this anchor matters—The named conflict, dates, actors and circumstances come only from the school-approved source pack; no missing fact is supplied from memory.—and check it beside this second anchor: Long-term conditions, short-term pressures and a trigger can interact, so a list becomes an explanation only when relationships are stated and evidenced.
- EVIDENCE in conflict causation and ethical decision-making: source material used to support or challenge a claim. Apply EVIDENCE when this anchor matters—Long-term conditions, short-term pressures and a trigger can interact, so a list becomes an explanation only when relationships are stated and evidenced.—and check it beside this second anchor: An ethical decision can compare duties, rights, likely consequences, fairness and uncertainty without pretending that every reasonable person reaches the same judgement.
- ETHICAL REASON in conflict causation and ethical decision-making: a reason about harm, fairness, duty, rights or consequences in a supplied decision. Apply ETHICAL REASON when this anchor matters—An ethical decision can compare duties, rights, likely consequences, fairness and uncertainty without pretending that every reasonable person reaches the same judgement.—and check it beside this second anchor: A source-supported explanation distinguishes what the evidence establishes, what is an interpretation and what remains uncertain.
Read the supplied enquiry title and source labels first. Place one approved factor card under long-term condition, short-term pressure or trigger, then quote no more than the necessary locator and paraphrase the relevant evidence. Build a cause chain using ‘made more likely’, ‘increased pressure’ or ‘triggered at this point’ only where the source supports that relationship. Add a counter-check: what would be missing if this factor were removed from the explanation? For the ethical decision, use the supplied fictional or historical classroom scenario rather than a learner's experience. Identify the decision-maker, available options, people affected and evidence limits. Compare one duty-based reason, one likely-consequence reason and one fairness or rights reason. Finish with a provisional judgement whose wording reflects uncertainty and does not label a person as simply good or bad.

Finish with a provisional judgement whose wording reflects uncertainty and does not label a person as simply good or bad. Produce a structured explanation of the supplied 20th-century conflict using the approved classroom pack. Select at least four causal factors, retain each source locator, classify the time scale, and explain two relationships between factors. Identify the factor presented as the immediate trigger and explain why a trigger is not the whole cause. Include one source limitation or contested interpretation that the pack identifies. Then complete an ethical decision matrix for the supplied scenario: options, relevant duties or rights, likely benefits and harms, who may be affected, uncertainty, and a reasoned provisional choice. Connect the two halves only at the level of reasoning—both require claims, evidence and limits. Do not make a present-day claim, invent an actor's motive, reconstruct a quotation, or turn an adult model into learner wording.

Evaluate the relative weight of competing causes, test a counterfactual carefully, compare ethical frameworks and defend a judgement while acknowledging a credible alternative and evidential limit. Before independent work, audit a planted weak explanation. Replace ‘this one thing caused everything’ with a chain that names time scale and evidence. Remove any motive that is not in the source pack. Check whether a trigger statement explains timing but leaves long-term and short-term conditions unanswered. On the ethical side, reject a popularity vote as sufficient reasoning. Ask what duty, right, likely effect or fairness concern each option addresses, who carries the risk, and what information is missing. Rehearse a provisional conclusion using because, however and therefore without claiming certainty the evidence does not provide.
