There are a lot of resources included in this pack. The following information is how I have ran the lesson in the past; but please change and adapt the resources to suit your teaching style / pupils. I hope you find them useful. Pass the parcel style starter where pupils work out the lessons topic. I wrap up a bar of chocolate and place a ‘clue card’ on each layer. Alternatively you could give a card to different groups who must act out for the rest of the class to guess their word (Spelling together ‘the Nazi Soviet Pact’) Pupils will visit 5 stations around the classroom to help answer the question ‘Why did Hitler and Stalin sign the Nazi-soviet pact?’ NOTE: You will need additional material for station 4. Station 1: atch video Station 2: Visual Cartoon Source + map of Poland showing how it would be invaded and divided by both countries (simple). (white board pens can be used to label countries / make notes if you laminate the sheets) (visual learners) Station 3: Source table – sources A-F – differentiation: Some easier to understand + read than others) (Again – white board pens can be used to circle / underline key text) (for those who prefer reading) Station 4: touch and feel boxes – Box 1 – contains a clock and a bomb to show that both sides would be bought time but the bomb indicates that war would eventually commence. Box 2: contains a small wooden pole and some grass = Pole-Land = to show that both sides would befit from dividing Poland between them. (Kinaesthetic learners) Station5 : (The Secret station) – A3 information sheet which consolidates everything that happened to lead to the pact being signed with benefits for both sides) This will be revealed half way through the lesson. Pupils can then answer exam style question before peer assessing.
