A clear, comprehensive and accessible revision mind map for KS4 students studying the League of Nations for IGCSE (Cambridge 0470, Paper 1) or the British GCSE. I have used this for both qualifications where the content is identical.
This resource contains a detailed summary of the threats to the League of Nations success, focusing specifically on their ambitious aims, limited power, membership rules, lack of organisation and democratic structures, and environmental threats.
This mind map breaks down the key details and most salient points into a single visual, colour coded knowledge organiser. **Fantastic for less-able students who struggle with note making or those high flyers who struggle to condense.
These mind maps have been invaluable with my own Year 10 and 11 classes for consolidating, condensing and linking together key information. Each year my students comment on how useful they find them to revise from, particularly the day before and morning of the exam as a quick short term memory refresh!

I’m a new TES author doing my best to create the highest quality, tried and tested resources (and help alleviate teacher workload in the process!) If you found this resource, or any of my others, helpful I would be so grateful for a review to help others find my work!
This resource comprises a 70 question knowledge test based on the key content of How secure was the USSRs control of Eastern Europe ?. Currently used as a fact test / team quiz / revision resource for my students studying CIE IGCSE for KQ6, I’ve also used it for the Edexcel IGCSE module on Superpower Tensions as well as for the British GCSE curriculum.
The test is broken down into the 7 sections outlined below and could be used all together as a single summative assessment, homework consolidation or a fun team based quiz at the end of the topic.
Alternatively the test could be delivered as 7 mini checkpoints throughout the course which is how I often use them to build knowledge. Additionally, they are great for a low stakes starter, plenary or homework task.
*Complete with a full answers document for every question, this is great for student self assessment too, minimising teacher workload and feedback time! *
