Dual Coding Revision: Superpower Relations & Cold War

This is a phenomenal package

A dual coded powerpoint of every event in the GCSE History Superpower Relations & Cold War 1943-91 Edexcel specification.

There are 26 slides of revision in this package. Please see images for break down.

The PPT is editable so you can replace icons to tell your own narrative/story if there are facts you love to make clear to your classes.

The topics have been broken down on the specification in the following order:

• Cold War conferences, 1943-45
• War of Words, 1946
• Containment & Soviet Expansion
• Berlin Blockade & Airlift
• HUngarian Uprising
• Berlin Crisis, 58-61
• Cuban Revolution & Bay of PIgs
• Cuban MIssile Crisis
• Detente, 1970s
• Czechoslovakia, 1968
• Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan
• Second Cold War
• End of Cold War

Each slide is animated so you can either:

• tell the story of the Cold War through icons
• Reveal each icon individually
• Use a clicker to reveal icons

I use this PowerPoint in the following ways:

• I print it out A5 in an amazing booklet of revision and give it to students (see images)
• There are 10 low stakes knowledge questions to help students retain long term facts.
• There are example exam Qs for each topic
• This is a great plenary, revision lesson or could be used a home learning.
• It’s a great way to explicitly teach about memory and using dual coding as a technique to make meaning of information.

There are over 50 example exam Qs per topic on this PPT
There are over 100 recall knowledge Qs overall on this PPT

This took a long time to make so the price reflects it, but I promise you will not be disappointed.
