Year 9 Rise of the Dictators Literacy based SoW with resources.

A Literacy based scheme of work, which I created in collaboration with an AST. Based on the Rise of the Dictators, the scheme covers different types of governments culminating in an assessment activity arguing why people voted for the Nazis.

Lesson 1 covers an introduction to different types of government and which is best.
Lesson 2 is a simulation of what it might be like to live in a communist society. Students are given a title, land and money and are encouraged to reflect on how they feel. This money and land is then shared and students are again encouraged to reflect on their new position and to make some inferences about Communism.
Lesson 3 is based on the Russian Revolution and how Russia became a Communist country.
Lesson 4 is about the Problems of the Weimar Government
Lesson 5 is about Adolf Hitler (a tweaked version of the lesson already available on here)
Lesson 6 starts to look at the reasons people voted for the Nazis, based on sources
Lesson 7 is a differentiated assessment activity, with guidelines for lower, middle and higher learners.

Some lessons may need further differentiation for lower ability students.

If you are interested in any of the lessons as a stand alone, please contact me.
