Russia Controlled AssessmentCA Planning
L.O. To carry on preparing for writing up your Controlled Assessment
Starter:
Get out the tasks you were completing ready to feedback on – tables and links/disputes between sources
Own Knowledge Source Impact (how did it contribute to Bolshevik Revolution?)
Pre-existing problems in Russia
Weaknesses of the Provisional Government
Lenin as leader
Kerensky’s mistakes
Strength of Bolshevik party and individuals such as Trotsky
How did Russia get to revolution? Lenin did play a role but what about the other factors? How did each of them contribute to Revolution? Fill in the third column of your table
Source Analysis h/w
Go through your source pack – can you find any links/disputes between sources that you could cross
reference in your essay?
Paragraph Checklist
• Point (the focus of your paragraph)
• Evidence (supported by the sources e.g. quotes)
• Try to use 2-3 sources per paragraph, address any links/disputes between them and fully analyse 1 source
• Explain how the factor contributed to the October Revolution and it’s importance compared to Lenin
• Link (can you link the paragraph to the next one?)
Referencing Sources
• If referencing from the source pack, simply say what source no. you are using e.g. In source 2 we can see…
• As Lynch explains ‘Russia had gone beyond the point where it could fight a successful war.’(Lynch, 1992, p.9)
• As the historian Robert Service explained ‘great historical changes are brought about not only by individuals.’ (Walsh, 2001, p.116)
• Bibliography for any sources apart from the pack:
Bibliography
Lynch, M. (1992) Reaction and Revolutions: Russia 1881-1924. London: Hodder and Stoughton
Walsh, B. (2001) GCSE Modern World History: second edition. London: Hodder and Stoughton
Model Plan
• Introduction (100-200 words) set up the debate and make it snappy/catchy – ‘The Russian Revolution was a turning point in Russian and indeed world history/it was the first ever Communist revolution…Lenin played a key role but there were other factors too…How did it happen and how important were they?’
1. Lenin’s role (400 words) Discuss this then compare it to the other factors:
2. Existing problems in Russia (200 words)
3. Weaknesses of PG (400 words)
4. Kerensky (300 words)
5. Trotsky/strength of Bolsheviks (200 words)
• Conclusion (300-400 words) – should be longer than intro
Order your paragraphs how you like: e.g. chronologically, order of importance – don’t all do the same order!
