These revision cards cover the key factors that you will need to know for the Russian Revolution and Stalin’s Russia 1924 - 41. They make an excellent fun starter, mini plenary or plenary to any lesson. They can also be used by students as revision flash cards. I’ve provided them in word so you can easily adapt them for your own classes. This package incudes both sets of revision cards at a discount price. There are three main ways that you can use them. Game 1 involves getting students to read out the key words until the other guesses the topic correctly. Game 2 involves additional challenge and stretch by getting students to describe the topic without using any of the key words on the card. The third game, which adds an additional layer of fun or challenge involves playing a round of Pictionary or Charades. I normally give my students 3 minutes of each round to help activate the learning and warm up the class. You could also have a freestyle round where students decide which game they want to play linked to their learning style. If you are trying to engage some under achieving boys, add some competition and get them to keep score in the back of their books. I would recommend printing them off on card and getting your students to cut them out. Then put the cards into an envelope for class use. If you are a student then keep them in your pocket and use them as a flash card to help you learn the key facts, If there is a term that you do not understand then as your teacher or do some extra research. From a revision perspective, you can print off the cards and get your students to learn the key words for a test or for their exams. These are a win, win resource. The kids will love them and they will help to improve your results . If you like this resource then why not check out my other resources on this topic in my TES shop.

The aim of this activity is to get students to sort through a series of key turning points in the history of black people from 1865 to 1970 and assess how far their changed their status and position within US society. It can be used as an introduction or as a plenary exercise. I’ve included two resources, a PowerPoint with the aims. objectives, outcomes of the lesson and the living graph templates and a word file that includes two pages of cards that can be cut out for the activity. I would recommend printing off the living graph templates on A3, but they also work on A4. Please note that I have created two living graphs spanning the periods 1865 - 1940 & 1945 to 1970. This suits they way in which we approach the topic, however you can easily adapt and edit the template as well as the cards to suit your own curriculum. Please note this resource was originally designed for use in a British school so it is always advisable to run it through a US spell checker :-) If you would like some other resources on these topics then please check out my revision cards or dingbats on US Civil Rights or my revision booklets.
