These lessons go beyond the minimum requirements of the specification (e.g. studying more pressure groups, more elections, more minor parties and more prime ministers than required) and include: LIST OF MATERIALS IN THE FULL 125-LESSON BUNDLE Between 2 and 4 homeworks set per week; 16 assessment opportunities (8 in class, 8 as homework); An exam technique sheet; 8 substantial knowledge tests, each out of 100 marks; Further reading integrated (although you will need to purchase the relevant books yourself). The core textbook for students to use is UK Government and Politics for AS/A-Level, 5th ed. by Philip Lynch, Paul Fairclough and Toby Cooper. I recommend buying enough for all students. On rare occasions, activities will reference the Pearson textbook. If you wish to do these activities, this book is Edexcel GCSE Politics AS and A-Level Student Book and eBook - worth snapping up a copy of this also. Further reading homeworks make use of the following books (all easily found on Amazon and not expensive): UK Politics Annual Update 2020, UK Politics Annual Update 2019, UK Government & Politics Annual Update 2018, UK Government & Politics Annual Update 2017, Isabel Hardman’s Why We Get the Wrong Politicians and Steve Richards’ The Prime Ministers: Reflections on Leadership from Wilson to May.

This bundle contains the complete series of lessons I have created for AQA GCSE 9–1 Germany 1890–1945: Democracy and Dictatorship, providing a comprehensive teaching sequence covering the Kaiserreich, the First World War, the Weimar Republic, the rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany 1933–1945. Designed specifically for the AQA GCSE History specification, the complete bundle combines strong subject knowledge with regular GCSE examination practice, helping students develop the historical knowledge, understanding and examination skills needed to access the highest grades. Throughout the unit, students build secure (AO1) knowledge and understanding of key events, individuals and developments, from Kaiser Wilhelm II, Weltpolitik and the impact of the First World War through to the weaknesses of the Weimar Republic, Hitler’s rise to power and the creation and development of Nazi dictatorship. The lessons also develop students’ understanding of (AO2) second-order concepts including change and continuity, cause and consequence and significance. Students are repeatedly challenged to explain why events happened, assess their consequences, identify developments over time and reach supported judgements about the most important factors affecting Germany between 1890 and 1945. Source analysis and evaluation (AO3) are embedded throughout the series, with students examining a wide range of historical sources and developing the skills required to interpret, analyse and evaluate historical evidence. Opportunities for (AO4) are also built into the lessons, allowing students to develop substantiated judgements and practise extended written answers using GCSE exam-style questions. The lessons are designed to be engaging, challenging and academically rigorous, while remaining fully editable and ready to teach. They include a wide variety of activities, retrieval practice, differentiated tasks, enquiry-based learning, suggested teaching strategies, source work, higher-order thinking activities and regular GCSE examination practice.
