Russian Revolution Workbook (IGCSE)

Made during the 2020 lockdown for remote learning it is a pretty comprehensive resource (if I may say so) that covers the whole topic and includes: 18 tailor made teacher videos 18 factsheets on the 18 key topics 18 literacy/essay writing challenges* (1 per key topic) 5 Google Quizzes (and printable versions) 1 Stretch and Challenge Project It took a very long time to produce and I am very happy to now be able to share it I would suggest setting it as an ongoing revision or homework task, the teacher videos mean that it can be used for self study also. The target audience was mostly for international school settings so I have tried to use accessible language where possible and each topic comes with a set of keywords to develop vocab skills. If you spot any mistakes please contact me via the website above and if you think it has come in useful I would love to see your reviews on the TES (makes me feel a bit better!) Hope it helps! As a man with a great beard once (sort of) said: Teachers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains. *The essay writing questions are loosely based on Edexcel IGCSE style questions but the approach taken is quite generic so will suit all exam boards/national systems. Russia and its discontents The 1905 Revolution The Russian Dumas Russia and the First World War Rasputin The February Revolution 1917 The Provisional Government The Bolsheviks The Bolsheviks Come to Power The Bolsheviks & The Constituent Assembly The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk The Russian Civil War 1918 - 1921 Why did the Reds win the Civil War?
