Nelson Mandela: from prisoner to president

Watch the video

Watch the whole video once without stopping. Try to answer these questions: Why did Mandela go to prison? What did he do in prison? How did apartheid end? Don't worry if you don't understand everything!

How to work

  1. Test your understanding: watch and answer (16 questions). Read the feedback after each answer: it explains what you missed.
  2. Learn the key words: vocabulary activity (4 slides, 32 words). Then watch the video again: how much more can you understand now?
  3. Watch and read at the same time, and complete the script: fill in the gaps (7 pages, 50 words). Hover over the underlined words to see their translation.
  4. To finish, take the final test (20 questions, mark out of 20).
