Download contains:

• Full lesson with printable resources (slides 8, 10 and 13).
• Five possible exam questions (for the Edexcel paper) on the topic. All were taken from the Pearson and Hodder exam-approved textbooks.

Some teacher knowledge on the roots of anti-Semitism and demands of the exam board are required.

Not a whiz-bang lesson but very straightforward and hopefully useful!
