This comprehensive IGCSE History workbook was created during the 2020 lockdown for remote learning. It covers the entire Russian Revolution topic in a structured, accessible format and can be used for classroom teaching, homework, revision, or independent study. The resource is designed with international school settings in mind and uses accessible language throughout.

The workbook includes:

18 tailor-made teacher videos

18 factsheets on the 18 key topics

18 literacy and essay writing challenges (one per key topic)

5 Google quizzes (plus printable versions)
