Political Parties in Russia before 1914: Abridged Version
I personally use the abridged version with my students these days, but for students who desire a more thorough analysis, the full version may be more to their tastes. Students are encouraged to look at the pedigree of each political party in terms of its peasant, proletarian or liberal credentials and spot overlaps.

Causes of World War One: Connecting the Factors: A diagram which helps students to connect the various causes together rather than simply list them.

For IB / A-Level historians. An accessible introduction to the concepts of Hegelian and Marxist Dialectic which will stand students in good stead for 20th Century Soviet history.

A brand new history game for students of the Spanish Civil War. After reading about each of the problems facing Spain on the eve of the civil war, students rank them according to urgency and then have to decide which policy seems the most appropriate response to each problem. At the end of the simulation the computer tells them which party most closely corresponded to their views. A detailed worksheet is provided to ensure that students get a full understanding of the different problems facing Spain and the approaches of the various parties (CNT, UGT, POUM, PCE, IR, CEDA, Falange and so on) towards them.
