Revise all modules 1 -8. Focus on vocabulary for the reading and listening skills. For the writing
assessment, make sure that you focus your efforts on the grammar, especially key verbs in different
tenses. Use your booklet to focus on opinions, sentences starters, idioms, time phrases, etc. Make
sure you use all the guidance set on Satchel by your teachers.

our "usual" end of module assessment. Focus on skills - remember that only 15% of your GCSE in
knowledge recall.

                                       What should I be working on?
Recapping and revising your knowledge and understanding of these topics within Paper 3: Russia and
the Soviet Union, 1917-41:
The Bolshevik Revolution of October 1917 (& the Storming of the Winter Palace),
The Russian Civil War (specifically the CAUSES),
The conditions for workers in towns in the Soviet Union - 1928-41
(Think impact of 5 Year Plans; industrialisation & Magnitogorsk; working conditions; wages;
unemployment; benefits or not; living conditions; food; sickness; Stakhanovite Movement; education;
population growth; unions; & particularly think about your SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, POLITICAL factors - and
the debate between the plight of the individual vs the plight of the country as a whole (sacrifice of the
individual for the good of the many.)
