Card Sort: The Terror State in Nazi Germany 1933 - 1945

This outstanding card sort is designed to help students studying the Nazi Terror State. It can be used with a range of abilities and has never failed to get my students excited, engaged, whilst improving their understanding of the topic. It can be used alongside any main stream resource, but works especially well with the video clips I’ve linked to this resource.

When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a single page Microsoft Word Document which includes a learning aim, instructions, four heading cards labeled SS, Gestapo, courts and concentration camps as well as sixteen information cards about the Terror State. Once students have cut out the cards they can test their knowledge of the topic by organising them under the a consolidation or homework exercise, students could then have a go at writing an extended answer.
