These resources / unit of work looks at why the Nazi persecution of the Jews became more extreme from 1918 - 1945?
The first few chapters look at the status and position of German Jews in 1918 and then moves on to look at the Nazi rise to power and the propaganda, economic, legal, physical attacks on the Jews from 1933 - 1938. Each chapter is designed with revision and summary sections. I have also included some of my Smart Notes with aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters and summary diagrams to accompany the booklet which you can adapt as you go along.
T he next section then looks at the impact of the war on the next stage of the attack on the Jews by looking at the forced segregation and isolation through ghettoes, which was followed by the work of the Einsatgruppen Battalions as the German Army advanced into the USSR.
My booklet then asks the question why did the Nazis then decide to move to a 'Final Solution' before moving onto the industrial methods and tactics used to murder the Jews through 'Destruction through work ' and 'special treatment.'
The final section or conclusions then explores some of the historical controversy surrounding how far the German people should be blamed for the persecution of the Jews.
If I have quoted from a primary or secondary source then full attribution has been given whenever possible. Please note that my resources were written for a British audience so you may want to run them through your US / local spell checker.
Some of the key questions or learning outcomes, which these resources explore are listed below:
• What impact did the FWW and Treaty of Versailles have on Germany?
• How successful was the Weimar Government at bringing economic and political stability to Germany?
• What was the status and position of German Jews in 1920?
• What impact did the Great Depression have on the support for extremist parties in Weimar Germany?
• Why did Hitler become Chancellor of Germany in 1932?
• How did Hitler consolidate his power in 1933 – 34?
• How did the status and position of Jews change from 1933 – 45?
You need to know about:
• What rights did German Jews have under the Weimar Constitution?
• Why did hatred of the Jews increase from 1919 – 1933?
• Why did the Nazis launch a propaganda attack on the Jews?
• What impact did the economic attack have on the Jews 1933 – 38?
• What impact did the legal attack have on the status and position of Jews living in Germany?
• Why did the Nazis launch a physical attack on the Jews in 1938?
• What impact did the Second World War have on the Jews in Europe?

This outstanding resource is designed to help students assess how successful the New Deal 1933 was at helping the US economy recover from 1933 to 1941. It is suitable for the full range of ability of students from 14 to 18, as I have included a mixture of easy as well as challenging statements.
The resource includes a single A4 sheet, with two heading cards labelled 'successful' and 'unsuccessful' as well as 22 statements that can be sorted under either headings. I would recommend getting your students to cut out the cards, sort them and then feed back to the class or their group before sticking them into their books. If you are pressed for time, then you could always get your students to use the heading cards to create a key or colour in the statement using highlighters.
There are several extension activities that you an then so with the sorted statements. Firstly, they could create a key to label some of the statements 'Relief, Recovery or Reform.' Secondly, they could use the sorted statements to attempt an extended question on: 'How successful was the New Deal from 1933 - 1941.
Theme: The USA in the 1930s.

Increased demand for beef in the East

The resources come in the form of a PowerPoint and a card sort with a separate answer sheet.
There are five activities in this lesson which are aimed for students of all abilities.
Activity 1 is a snowballing starter using the keywords. Full instructions included. Activity 2 is a review activity designed to test students prior knowledge. They are given 5 factors why the cattle industry developed and are then expected to write a sentence explaining why they think it would help it to develop. Activity 3, builds upon Activity 2 by getting students to improve their answers in (purple pen) after having reviewed 5 slides explaining why the cattle industry developed. I have built some additional discussion questions into these slides to help students connect their learning with some of the reasons why the industry later declines.
Activities 4 - 7, deal with the decline of the industry. Activity 4 is a summary exercise, whilst Activity 5 is a card sort. Once students have reviewed the information, they are expected to sort the cards to create 5 PEE’s paragraphs explaining why Cattle Ranching declined. I have supplied a colour coded answer sheet to display onto the IWB to help students review their answers. Activity 6, is a past paper question with built in structure and support on 'The disastrous winter of 1886-87 was the most important reason for the end of the open range’. How far do you agree with this statement? The final activity provides students with an AFL student mark scheme to help them peer assess their answers.
As with all my resources, they are produced to a high standard and are designed to be interactive. Have fun and if you like this lesson, check out some of my other resource bundles.
