Edexcel A level History: How to answer the paper 1 interpretation question (Germany)

For the Edexcel A Level: Germany and West Germany 1918-89
Part 5: How far was Hitler’s foreign policy responsible for the Second World War? (Source question). Rated ‘Outstanding’ lesson

This is focused on the Germany course, but could be adapted easily as the premise remains the same.

This is a detailed look through how to answer the interpretation question, including the marking of an example answer, and how to annotate sources (with examples included that match the sample answer). The sample answer would be awarded full marks (it’s from the revision guide!).

Also includes a planning sheet to help students with writing their own answer to question. All resources fully provided - my students have always done REALLY well using this.
