Edexcel International A-Level History Option 1C: Germany, 1918-45

This bundle includes all nineteen lessons I have prepared for the Edexcel International Advanced Level History. These lessons cover the Unit 1: Depth Study with interpretations option 1C: Germany, 1918-45.

These lessons follow what was laid out in the Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Level History Specification scheme of work with a few of my own ideas added in. These lessons are really easy and simple to follow for anyone teaching this for the first time. The expectations are really clear, they come with a lot of different activities and challenges that my students really enjoyed.

The lessons include:

1. The Collapse of the Second Reich and the Creation of the Weimar Republic, 1918-19
2. Crisis and Survival, 1919-24
3. The ‘Golden Years’ of the Weimar Republic 1924-29
4. The Origins of the NSDAP
5. Failure and Survival, 1924-28
6. Nazi breakthrough, Weimar collapse and Coming to Power, 1929-33
7. The Nazi Dictatorship
8. Nazi Repression and Control
9. Nazi Policies: Women and Children
10. Nazi Persecution of the Jews and Other Minorities, 1933-39
11. Nazi Policies: Religion
12. Nazi Policies: Changing Economic Priorities
13. Nazi Policies: Responses to the Great Depression
14. Nazi Policies Agriculture, Industry and Foreign Policy
15. Life Under the Nazi Regime
16. Managing the War Economy
17. Controlling the Civilian Population

There are a lot of chances in this course for independent research and learning (which at this level they need to prepare them for university) while also providing opportunities for class discussion and ICT based tasks.

Please Note: Some tasks and revision are linked to ‘Weimar & Nazi Germany’ SHP textbook by John Hite and Chris Hinton. The PP’s have page numbers and this is the textbook that links. These PowerPoints, along with the textbook and other materials I have provided go into enough depth that they can be adapted for other age groups and exam boards.
