Gimme (a Russian Revolution)

Here you have the karaoke of the song we´ve been singing this week. The final title will be Gimme (a Russian Revolution). The karaoke is made with Movie Maker. I hope the song was useful for yesterday´s exam. Enjoy!

The Russian revolutions of 1917 with PhotoPeach

This is a small visual summary of the Russian Revolutions in 1917. It´s made with a tool called PhotoPeach, which allows creating videos with pictures and combining them with text. We are going to use this tool very soon for the next project. The videos can be accompanied with music, like in this case. The music I´ve chosen is The Internationale in Russian, which became the Russian national anthem after the October Revolution. Some years later The Internationale was declared the national anthem of the USSR until 1944. 

PhotoPeach is a very easy-to-use tool to summarize a short period of history. You can upload up to 30 pictures and write a text that fits with the images. I think it´s a very useful tool to study, by preparing visual pieces. If you want to try, don´t wait and sign in now!

Presentation about the Russian revolutions

Here you have the presentation we´re using for this part of the unit. Please, use it to complete your schemes and exercises. 

Peace, land and bread!

Here you have a very funny animated cartoon about the 1917 Revolution in Russia. It comes from a USA series for children called Histeria!,  broadcasted at the end of the 1990´s. The song the children sing is subtitled and with it you can learn about the main claims of the Russians and know the main figures of the Revolution: Tsar Nicholas II and Lenin.
