2023 UPDATE INFO: To take into account copyright, images have been attributed where appropriate and are, to the best of my knowledge, all in the public domain. Images created by myself using Power Point tools have also been noted as creations of RAResources. Please contact me in person if you see any errors. This lesson specifically looks at the consequences and importance of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. This is a complete lesson where no other resources are needed as a detailed fact sheet has been included at the end of the PP. RECAP: Students complete the alphabet quiz where they need to think of a key word from the Cold War topic so far for each letter of the alphabet. STARTER: Location of Afghanistan - what issues can the student identify from the location of the Soviet Union and their knowledge of religions around this area. You may wish to supplement with a world map. BACKGROUND: Slides which fully explain why the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979. TASK 1: Students have to read through the main consequences of the invasion and categorise them into one of 5 different categories (see image). The students will then find this useful to help them organise their consequences response in a more structured and historical way as well as learn the consequences of the invasion. TASK 2: Chronology - just in case a narrative account comes up, the students are asked to re-arrange 10 events of the invasion into the correct chronological order. EXAM FOCUS: Students in this lesson focus on the consequences question: Explain two consequences of the Soviet invasion of the Soviet Union (1979) [8] Sentence starters are given along with an example paragraph for analysis by the students. EXTENSION TASK: A modern political cartoon looking at the different interpretations of Afghanistan over time.
