This is a thorough analysis of Nazi persecution against the Jews. I have found this best done after studying Nazi persecution against the Jews the period 1933-41, although it could be used as an introduction to this period. This resources provides a thorough and clear timeline of key laws and events that students can use to identify key turning points from 1933-1942. There is also a thorouh timeline on the period 1940-42 analysing the impact of the war on Nazi racial policy towards the Jews and historian’ interpretations, especially Christopher Browning’ ‘euphoria of victory’ interpretation. There is also a clear and thorough analysis of the Intentionalist and functionalist schools of thought and those of contemporary historians. Key events are also analysed according to these schools of thought to see which arguments the students find most convincing. Also provided is an overview of the debate on complicity in the Holocaust. Throughout the lesson there are key questions for students to discuss and debate. At the end of the PPT there are four exam style questions for students to analyse and plan on an essay planning sheet. Students find this resource/lesson very helpful and enjoy the rigour involved. A must for A Level historians.

These knowledge tests are influenced by research that has shown low-stakes knowledge testing significantly improves knowledge recall. There are 9 quiz cards in this resource, three for each section of the AS Year. You simply back them together, laminate and put on display for students to use (questions one side, answers on the other). This revision strategy has proven very popular at GCSE and is now even more applicable at A-Level with the new linear courses.

This timeline gives a detailed overview of the impact of war on Nazi persecution of the Jewish people. Included is plenty of precise detail and historian’s views. My A Level students have found this a very useful resource when approaching essays focused on this topic. It is especially good at demonstrating Christopher Browning’s ‘euphoria of victory’ interpretation on the decision making process concerning the ‘Final Solution’.

This enquiry will take two-three hours to complete. Students work in small groups to research the evidence for and against the execution of Charles I. It is a highly engaging lesson and students frequently question their thinking and judgment on the key question. The lesson concludes with student writing on the verdict sheet and announcing their justified conclusion.

These resources are focused on the Crime and Punishment Course for OCR SHP 1-9. Each booklet focuses on either Crimes, Punishments or Law Enforcement.

This resource contains five detailed and thorough timelines for each part of the specification. On each timeline are five separate themes - Understanding of disease and medicine, Public Health, Surgery, Role of Women, and Impact of War and Technology. The knowledge is specifically for the IGCSE Pearson Edexcel course. These have proved very popular with my students, especially with planning exam-style questions and improving chronological understanding. A big time saver!
