Nazi Germany: the economy
johnleehoughjohnleehough

Nazi Germany: the economy

(0)
This lesson includes a full PowerPoint that prepares students for a GCSE style question on Nazi policy and its impact on ordinary Germans. It starts with a register starter, then highlighting a model answer into a paired activity were the students construct their own answer to the question together. This works very well in preparation for mocks or assessments but also works well for just learning the content with a focus on exam content.

Etymology Worksheet/Guidance
johnleehoughjohnleehough

Etymology Worksheet/Guidance

(0)
This worksheet was created to improve students' ability to deconstruct words to better their understanding. I have used this is a secondary school but the National Curriculum non-statutory spelling guidance suggest that the teaching of etymology should be included in primary school teaching. This sheet works well as a reference when glued in the books or put on the desks during comprehension or spelling tasks. When the size is increased it makes a good wall display. I have used this as a starter for lessons where the students need to deconstruct a key word to find its meaning. Works well whole school and across all subjects.
