History of DDR - Goodbye Lenin Worksheets and PPT

2 WORKSHEETS FOR STUDENTS WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE GDR

1 PPT with my own answers (you may wish to watch the clip and edit answers, although it’s not 100% necessary!)

A worksheet to be used whilst watching avery accessible 45-minute video from br.de about the history of the DDR. The video is in German and the questions relate directly to the video and are in order of information.

I split this up with my Year 12 film students into 4 lessons:

Firstly, we translated the questions and guessed what the answers could be / discussed this in small groups and as a class

Secondly, students watched the video in their own time (as homework) to get the gist and add little bits to their sheets

Finally, we worked together in the lesson - I played the video and stopped for each question. Students worked in pairs and fours to add further information and then I went through it with them to complete the worksheet.
