Capitalism v Communism: video worksheets, differentiated.

A very solid, fair, and thorough explanation of the two dominant political systems post WW2. This film covers the main differences between capitalist and communist systems at the end of WW2, including economic policy, representation, and foreign trade. We see the pros and cons of each system, and the hypocrisies which arose in each.

16 questions for the c. 10-minute film. Differentiated! Both versions look very similar, but “B” version has subtle clues. Good subtitles: scripted, not auto-generated. Questions right up to the end, no slack time! Creates a great intro / revision / summary resource. Answer sheet. Very easy to mark. .doc & .pdf for all files.
