How far did the Weimar Republic recover in the Golden Years, 1924-29?

“My purpose is to engage students in dialogue so they can see others’ points of view – in a world that needs this more than ever. I do this by sharing lessons on this site which connect students with the past and inspire critical thinking.

This lesson is titled “How far did the Weimar Republic recover in the Golden Years, 1924-29?”

This lesson begins with a starter activity in which students are invited to attempt a truth (a question about an area of German recovery) or a dare (they draw or reenact an aspect of German recovery). There are then graduated lesson aims and objectives (all will/most will/some will) before 6 slides of detailed background knowledge to enable teacher exposition. Students then begin the main activity which is to place 48 pieces of evidence into factors (how Germany recovered politically, economically, culturally, and in terms of its international standing). This provides the class with knowledge to begin the written task. The aims and objectives are revisited and the lesson ends with a trash can plenary where students place Post-It notes of knowledge into 4 different areas. I hope your students get as much out of this lesson as mine do.
