Black Death lesson for low ability year 7 class. Deals with avoiding the Black Death.

KS 3 Holocaust lesson that looks at anti-Semitic propaganda and concentration camps.

Looks at the rise of the dictators (Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin).

Detailed lesson that corresponds to Chapter 1.3 of the Pearson Edexcel GCSE 9-1 textbook. Although this textbook is necessary for some of the tasks, the Hodder book should have the same content, although the page numbers will be different. There are numerous activities and exam guidance within this lesson. It is a very long and complex chapter, dealing with numerous pieces of legislation, customs duties and economic impacts that introduces some complex terminology. I would advise spending 3-4 classes on this chapter and going slow. There will be a lot of explaining to do, particularly with regards to the section on customs revenue.
