The aim of this lesson is to gauge the weaknesses of Papen’s Government in the prelude to Hitler becoming Chancellor.
Students begin by referring back to Bruning’s Government and the reasons for its collapse.
They then have to decide the options open to Papen in forming a new Government and are given various scenarios to consider.
A case study is also given for Papen’s actions in Prussia and his abuse of his constitutional power. This will help the students complete some exam question practice at the end of the lesson. Some help with structure and a model answer have been included if required.
They will also be required to analyse the election results in 1932 and their wider implications for the country. Some clear questioning is used to steer the students to look for trends, implications and significance.
The plenary task consolidates the learning of the lesson with putting questions to the answers given.
An enquiry question posed at the beginning of the lesson will be revisited throughout to track the progress of learning during the lesson and the subsequent unit of work.
The lesson is available in PowerPoint format and can be customised to suit specific needs. It is differentiated and includes suggested teaching strategies.
