What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students connect Lenin's beliefs about class and revolution to his decisions after 1917. They explain how those decisions changed land ownership, government, and trade in Russia.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can link a policy to a specific result, such as the NEP allowing small shops to reopen. They can explain how Lenin's one-party government limited political opposition.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may credit Lenin with Stalin's forced collectivization. They may think the NEP ended state control of the economy, or that Russia's withdrawal from World War I ended its civil war.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: How did the NEP change trade in Russia? Name one change and one group it affected.
Lesson moves
Ways to Teach It
Pairs arrange cards labeled peasant land rights, land decree, and land redistribution into a belief, policy, effect chain.
Read a short NEP summary, then ask: Why might Lenin allow private shops while the state kept large factories?
Play policy-effect bingo with the land decree, Russia's withdrawal from World War I, and the NEP; read effects aloud for students to match.
Compare a one-paragraph NEP summary with a local shop flyer; students explain what private sales each setting allows.
