This resource was created to help students understand the events leading up to Hitler’s appointment. The Bruning, Papen and Schleicher chronology can be difficult for some students to process but this timeline worksheet has helped massively. I use it with the textbook and the revision guides I have made for the students. When it is filled in, students can clearly see why each chancellor before Hitler’s appointment failed to stabilise the economic and political situation in Germany.

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.

This resource follows the same format as the lesson focused on the overview between 1250-1500. Pupils complete a 'clock sheet' with the various key features that was typical for this period. This resource has been differentiated on some sections of the clock sheet to help pupils access the reading. Pupils then highlight the key changes and continuities. After these two tasks, pupils listen to a podcast (accessed through the dynamic learning website) and note down the key social, political and religious changes. This lesson is a good 'way in' to this period.

Included in this resource is a one page summary of the causes of the American Civil War and an activity sheet. This divides the causes up into economic, social and political causes. The economic causes has been done for them as we studied this earlier in the year. This can also be adapted easily for long-term and short-term causes. The presentation has an activity on it that is liked by my students - significance circles. This helps them form a judgement on the significance of each cause.

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.
