The Holocaust is a deeply sensitive topic, so these 3 complete lessons allow students to emphasize and show respect. They provide support for students who may feel emotionally affected and they encourage students to focus on human resilience, courage, and empathy in their writing.
So why did I create this Primary version of this lesson?
I wanted younger students to understand the Holocaust and gain a deeper understanding of the Holocaust’s historical context and human impact.
I wanted to develop my younger students writing skill by using descriptive language, character development, and perspective in storytelling.
What is includes:
Pair work
Class discussion
Group work
Aim and Objectives
Starter Activities
Peer assessment
In each powerpoint I have created short interesting tasks that can be used as pairs work or individual to keep them all engaged, while being able to stretch and challenge the more able student.

Lesson 2 examines an individual survivor experience. It works with the students to create paragraphs based on setting and background.
Lesson 3 examines an individual survivor experience. It works with the students to create a character that fits with their story idea.

**Need help in getting your students to take accountability for their learning?
Then look no further!
I have used this individual results sheet for all my GCSE students for several years.
**4 separate sheets for English Language P1 -P2 and English Literature P1-P2
It allows me to sit down with each student that I teach and discuss their exam result and look at where they want to improve and I think the need to improve.
Although I put the exam result in and my prediction, I always let the student complete the sheet with 5 Key Questions:
’What do I need to do to improve?
'**What will stop me from achieving my goal? **
etc…
It means that the student is taking responsibility for their own learning. I also use this sheet when doing a final parents evening as it allows parents to read what their child has written.
