Interactive activities to review

Here you have some review activities about the crisis of the Ancien Régime in Spain, Restoration and the revolutions in the first half of the 19th century.  The MEC server is not working today (I don´t know why). I´ve sent an e-mail to the person in charge, but I don´t know if they are working during the weekend. If the problem is not solved and someone wants to review, please, send me an e-mail and I´ll send you the packs of activities and the instructions to practice. 

P.S (3rd February): the problems were solved and everything works right now.

This is the presentation we´ll use to study one of my favourite periods of History. Use it to complete your notes if you need it. See you next Friday!

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.
