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.

This great little card sort is designed to help students assess how successful the Elizabethan Church Settlement Act of 1559 was at promoting peace and stability in England?
The resource in includes two sub headings entitled successfully and unsuccessful as well as 14 statement cards, which students can sort through.
Aims and Objectives:
Theme: What were the consequences of the break with Rome?
Know: What was the terms of the Church Settlement Act of 1559?
Understand: Who opposed the Elizabethan Church Settlement Act?
Evaluate: How successful was the Church Settlement Act at maintaining peace?
WILF - What Am I Looking For?
Identify and describe: What were the successes and failures?
Explain: Who opposed the church settlement and why?
Analyse: How far was the Church Settlement Act a success?
This great little resource gets students to sort through a series of 12 primary and secondary sources about the reign of Queen Mary I 1553 - 1558, with the aim of deciding whether she deserves the reputation of Bloody Mary. Once this has been complete, students can then have a go at answering the question: Does Mary I deserve the title, ‘Bloody Mary’?
I would recommend that this resource should be used with either a core or advanced group as there is a lot of reading, which would be too much for a foundation group with low literacy skills.
This resource makes a great starter or plenary. It can be cut up the students or placed into envelopes for use with several classes or even set as a piece of homework.
The aims and objectives are:
Theme: Consequences of the break with Rome?
Know: Why did Queen Mary I burn protestant heretics?
Understand: How has Mary been viewed by both contemporaries and historians?
Evaluate: Does Mary I deserve the title 'Bloody Mary'?
WILF - What Am I Looking For?
Identify and describe: Which sources support / disagree with the 'Bloody Mary' interpretation?
Explain: Why do people disagree about how 'Bloody' Mary I was?
Analyse: How far does Queen Mary deserve the title 'Bloody Mary?'
If you like this resource, I have also created a PowerPoint on the reign of Queen Mary I, with additional information to go along with this card sort.
This topic also makes for a great assessment task.
