Today and next lesson…… • HOW • Turning info about one of these aspects of the uprising into a teaching resource • Using it to teach others/being taught by others • Completing your own fact sheet about the uprising • WHAT • The Hungarian Uprising 1956-7 • What were the causes of the uprising? • What happened? • What were the results of the uprising?
A bit of context (what was going on in 1956-7) • As Europe began to recover after the war, the people living in the satellite states of eastern Europe compared themselves with the people of western Europe. • They saw that the people of western Europe had…. • More freedom – • More than one party to vote for in elections • A free press which was allowed to criticise the government • No secret police • Freedom to travel wherever they wanted • Relaxed censorship in the arts and media • A higher standard of living - • Their economies were not controlled by the state • Working hours were shorter, and pay higher • They could trade with a wide range of other countries • Unsurprisingly, many people living in the satellite states wanted this kind of life for themselves! However, this would mean getting rid of Soviet communist control. The USSR would not allow this to happen…if one satellite state broke away, the whole lot might, and that would be the end of the USSR’s buffer zone in eastern Europe.
If we look at the bigger picture of the Cold War, then the Hungarian Uprising was all about the USSR (and its new leader, Khrushchev) stamping its authority on the satellite states of Eastern Europe (known as the Soviet bloc), to show them that there was no chance of breaking away…..
ACTIVITY You’ll be working in teams. Your aim (by the end of the second lesson) is to make a fact sheet containing the key points about the Hungarian Uprising of 1956-7, including the causes, what happened, and the results of the uprising. Here’s what the fact sheet looks like…..
STAGE ONE • Working with the 8 people in your team, read through your info sheet carefully. Each person in the team needs to turn it into a A3 sized teaching resource. • Guidelines….. • Please don’t just copy the info sheet out! • Before you start your teaching resource, work out how you will present it. You will need to - • categorise the info on the info sheet – eg insert subheadings • Highlight key facts and work out how you will present them • Pick out names of people who are important, and their role in the uprising or the build-up to the uprising • Pick out figures/statistics • You can present your teaching resource however you like. Try to use colours, pictures, diagrams….to make it memorable. You have the rest of this lesson + homework time to complete your teaching resource
Homework – for next lesson • Please complete your teaching resource and bring it to tomorrow’s lesson • Reminders about previous homework set – also due next lesson • Complete the ‘revision starter’ sheet • Complete the exam question planning sheet 1 2

STAGE TWO • In your new group, take it in turns to teach the others in your group about your aspect of the Hungarian Uprising. No. 1s go first, then no. 2s, then no. 3s. • As you are being taught, fill in the fact sheet to the best of your ability. This means that you should ask your teacher questions if you are unsure what they mean. • After each person – 1, 2 and 3 – has taught others, each person should then go back to the info sheet and fill in the info for their aspect of the Hungarian Uprising (eg. if you were no. 1, fill in the ‘causes’ bit on the fact sheet). • Time allowed to complete factsheet – 40-45 minutes.
