These resources enable students to understand the context of the Russian Revolution, the predominant subject of Orwell’s allegory within Animal Farm. More precisely, students learn about the key historical events and figures throughout this point in time in Russian history, and begin to comprehend Orwell’s intentions in writing the novella. These resources give students a strong foundation of knowledge which they can then utilise to begin confidently relating the text to its context. There are easily enough resources for at least two lessons within this resource pack.

Students learn through the following tasks:
- Gauging and collaborating previous knowledge through a discussion-based starter task;
- Watching, listening, and demonstrating their understanding of an engaging and informative context video and related activity sheet;
- Developing their understanding through in-depth investigative research into the main leaders of the Russian Revolution;
- Writing a letter from the viewpoint of a member of the Russian working class, who has lived through the various regimes and revolutions.
- Peer assessing their partners’ learning attempts.

The following resources are provided:
- Engaging and colourful step-by-step PowerPoint (includes links for video)
- Teacher lesson guidance/plan;

The video the ppt links to is only a 3 min video and doesn't appear to follow the worksheet to the end. The lesson makes reference to a 6 min video. Is there another video that is the correct one?
