This lesson is designed to be the first of a series of lessons on the causes of the 1905 revolution. It also acts as the first lesson of the OCR Russia 1894-1941 A-level course.
The lesson introduces the topic in the context of the the wider A-level course and introduces some key concepts which students need before getting into the course proper.
The lesson begins with the dramatic event of Bloody Sunday and poses the question: why did this happen? This leads to a series of activities where students create a character profile of Tsar Nicholas II and his mentor Konstantin Pobedonostev which allows them to make early conclusions as to why there was a revolution in 1905.
Students will then complete a homework activity whereby they complete a ‘Health Report’ using ‘Communist Russia under Lenin and Stalin’ by Chris Corin and Terry Fiehn pp. 4-11. where they will take notes on key issues faced in Russia such as those faced by the working, middle and peasant class and industrialisation.
