GCSE History - What were Germany's biggest problems between 1918 and 23?

This suite of resources is designed to review and evaluate the first section of GCSE History study for Germany 1918 to 39.

There is a set of keywords to revise and prepare for homework - I follow this up with a test as part of a starter or plenary activity. There is a more comprehensive starter activity provided here with students completing a timeline of the period 1918-23 from memory (answers are provided).

There is a presentation that requires students to assess the significance of 5 problems faced by the Weimar government between 1918-23 - this is presented in the form of a 'snowball' activity, where students prioritise these problems in progressively larger groups.

This leads onto the hexagon activity, where students explain why each event was a problem inside a hexagon before cutting them up and arranging them in a way that reflects how they can be linked and prioritised.

This then leads to the students completing a new-style GCSE exam question that will make reference to what they have learned.
