Weimar Germany Social Change Cards – Inference, Sorting & Ranking Activity (GCSE History)

A quick, engaging GCSE History activity introducing how different groups experienced life in Weimar Germany. Students use 10 character snapshot cards to explore whether society truly improved in the 1920s — or whether many groups felt left behind.

Perfect for starters, retrieval, revision, or as a stand-alone mini-lesson.

Students will:
• Sort, rank or compare character experiences using one of three quick tasks
• Practise inference, justification and comparative judgement
• Recognise that social change in Weimar Germany was uneven across gender, class and location
• Build contextual foundations for later topics on culture, women and the ‘Golden Age’

Includes:
• 10 character cards showing varied social experiences
• PowerPoint task slide with three flexible options
• Full teacher notes (Purpose, Guidance, Insight, Differentiation, Timing)

Ideal for Edexcel GCSE (Weimar & Nazi Germany) and easily adaptable for AQA, OCR and Eduqas.

A clear, high-quality resource designed to support active learning and promote confident historical explanation.
