This is a lesson from a Holocaust Unit that focuses on Hitler’s book Mein Kampf as a source. Students learn about Hitler’s ideology and that of the Nazi Party from the study of a documentary about his book ‘Mein Kampf’. This lesson includes a lesson plan, the links for short YouTube videos and the Mein Kampf documentary, a documentary worksheet, essay questions, and a Chalk Talk routine poster. This should take 2-3 50-55min lessons. Hope it can be useful to you in your classroom :)

This resource is a great introduction to Martin Luther King’s famous ‘I Have a Dream’ speech. There is background information about him and the civil rights movement happening at the time.

This is a full resource pack that teaches students how to analyse historical sources in detail. It includes a PPT and the worksheet that students complete as your work through the PPT. It is designed to take two 50-55minute lessons. It uses the acronym OMCAPUR for students to remember what they need to be looking for when analysing both primary and secondary sources, and it analyses World War One cartoons and recruitment posters (one world focus and one Australian focus). The worksheet also has some tasks that could be used for homework to check students understanding after the lesson. This resource goes well with the classroom poster pack for OMCAPUR source analysis.

This is a set of A3 classroom posters to assist in the teaching and remembering of source analysis. Using the acronym OMCAPUR, students can quickly and effectively remember all the elements they need to be looking for in a source in order to understand and analyse it. OMCAPUR stands for: O - origin M - motive C - content A - audience P - perspective U - usefulness R - reliability Each letter of the acronym can be cut out and then the box with the explanation stuck below or beside. It is also colour coded to assist students. These can also be printed for students to glue in their books. I have another resource which is a complete lesson on analysing WWI sources using the steps of OMCAPUR. It breaks it down really well for students to understand and goes well with this classroom poster is this is how you would like to teach source anlaysis.

This is an assessment I created for Year 10 students (15-16 year olds) for their study of the Holocaust. We studied the Holocaust in part as a comparative study looking at other genocides around the world - Armenian, Cambodian, Rwandan and Bosnian. In order to give students some flexibility, they were able to choose which genocide they were to look at in conjunction with the Holocaust. This is designed for a higher ability Year 10 group and would also work for older students. Tara

This task is intended to assist students in understanding who Hitler was, what his ideologies were and his impact while studying Nazi Germany or the Holocaust. This is a template for students who can copy it exactly or use it to create their own. It is a good introduction activity to assist students in understanding the leader of Germany. It is a good task for a cover lesson or if you are teaching remotely. I hope you find this useful. Tara

This is a question/work sheet that has been created to go with the watching of the movie Selma. It would be a great resource to use towards the end of a teaching unit of US Civil Rights as some assumed knowledge of Martin Luther King and events of the US Civil Rights Movement is required. You will have to source the movie yourself, this is simply a question sheet to accompany it so that students are still learning and engaged.
