This beautifully illustrated lesson has been carefully written to help students understand the key features of the Weimar Constitution and assess both its strengths and weaknesses. After Germany lost the First World War, the Kaiser fled and a new democratic government of Germany was declared in February 1919, at the small town of Weimar. The constitution that was drawn was amongst the most liberal in Europe, However, it contained a number of strengths and weaknesses that played a key part in the instability which helped the Nazis into power. When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a single page Word Document and an accompanying eleven slide PowerPoint. The Word document contains a learning objective, instructions, two heading cards labeled ‘Strengths’ and ‘Weaknesses’, as well as fourteen cards which describe features of the Weimar Constitution. Once students have assessed which cards are ‘Strengths’ or ‘Weaknesses’ they can then pair them up to the sub headings: President, Chancellor, Reichstag, Proportional Representations, The Voters, Article 48 and the Bill of Rights. The PowerPoint includes aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters, plenaries, templates, writing frames, animated diagrams to show the divisions of power, appropriate video clips and activities to help facilitate the lesson. For more information, please see the detailed preview. If used as a stand alone resource, the card sort makes a great starter or plenary to completed in pairs or groups. It can be cut up the students or placed into envelopes for use with several classes or even set as a piece of homework. Once completed, students will have a detailed summary diagram of the strengths and weaknesses of the Weimar Constitution. The aims and objectives of this less are: Theme: Weimar Republic 1919 - 1923 Know: What were the key features of the Weimar Constitution?
