fact cards

I decided to add some fact cards in with the concertina to make it more of an educational pack. The timeline itself is informative and factual but doesn't elaborate on specific events or key figures - I thought the fact cards could give some extra information and 'fun facts' to make it more appealing to children as well as enhancing the learning experience. 

This is a basic layout of how I imagine it to look:

Some examples of areas I thought they could focus on are:
Lenin
- how he was considered a modest leader compared to most dictators (especially Stalin)
- how he spent time in prison and was exiled for a few years
- his dislike of Stalin

Stalin
- his personality cults
- the movement of his body after his death
- his make-shift photoshopping of historical photos and paintings

Communist emblem
- its meaning, what it stands for
- different meanings of 'bolshevik' and 'soviet'
- why communism was so revolutionary

These are my final designs:

They came out well - in a similar style to 'top trump' cards. They're not necessarily 'fun facts' but they definitely give extra interesting information about the time period which children interested in history would find interesting.
