In this activity, students analyse 5 separate political cartoons relating to the decline and collapse of communism in Eastern Europe. They are then able to compare their answers to a series of model answers. A useful way of revising the 2010 IGCSE Paper 2 Topic.

On Friday 21st May I’m personally running a one-day teacher-training course on “Web2.0 in the History Classroom”. All delegates will have access to their own computer with internet access and a 2GB memory stick with a full training pack and resources. A restaurant lunch is also included in the course price. The event will take place in central Birmingham, just 10 minutes’ walk from the train station.

I have loads of ideas and resources that I plan to share, and I make a point of giving delegates plenty of time to test these out for themselves rather than merely talking at them!

Full details of the day, along with testimonials from delegates to my previous course, can be found here:

I hope you or one of your colleagues will be able to make it!
