Dictators L10 - What Were Hitler's Beliefs

This lesson contains:

• A starter to recap some key words from the dictators course, but you can edit this to fit whatever you recently studied.
• A brief intro to Hitler’s upbringing and actions in the early Nazi Party. This is brief but gives a small overview - the point here is not to focus on things at KS4 depth, it’s only meant to be light touch as the main focus at KS3 for this lesson is on beliefs about how to make Germany better. This is supplemented by a video about Fascism and Hitler’s role in it. this is from YouTube. There is a brief gap fill consolidation task.
• An activity to study a series of sources about Hitler and to fit the evidence into the table next to the problems going on Germany at the time. this shows the connection between the problems and the solution Hitler proposed to deal with them.
• A task to then study some statements from characters on the information sheet provided. This allows the students to say who would support Hitler’s ideas and then justify why they would like that problem solved. This builds the ideas that the Nazis were supported by different groups in society.
• A plenary to summarise the key learning from the lesson.
