About This Lesson
This is one of many lessons that I have uploaded on the rise of Hitler and Germany under his rule. All of the lessons can be taught together but each covers a topic so can also be picked up separately. This is a full PowerPoint lesson; ready to teach but you will want to adapt it / update it for your own context and any resources are also uploaded with it. This lesson covers oersecutuion in Nazi Germay between 1933 -1939.
This lesson is great for keeping students engaged. They get to gather the information and "teach" the other students. The only downside, is the provided handout does not provide as much examples as there could be for persecution of German Jews and various other groups of minorities. It does not go into detail either; it is "watered down" for the students. It seems like the students will just be copying information they are given rather than making their own inferences. There are SO many examples and primary sources that could be used to really encourage critical thinking. If this would be vamped up, this would be an interesting resource for the students that could incorporate the common core.
