CCEA Planning Framework for GCSE History

An Introduction to the Planning Framework for Life in Nazi Germany, 1933–45

This planning framework is offered as a starting point for teachers who want to teach Life in Nazi Germany, 1933–45 in a rigorous, yet engaging way. The framework provides examples of how the content of the option may be approached, alongside some suggested learning and teaching activities. It is hoped that the information and ideas contained in this planning framework will help teachers to design their own scheme of work for this option which is tailored to meet the timetabling needs of your school, reflects the staffing requirements of your department and, most importantly, meets the needs of your students. As part of the planning process, teachers may wish to consider whether a few ‘lead in’ lessons may be necessary to provide some background context depending on the department’s Key Stage 3 History programme. Finally, as this document has been designed as a planning tool, it does not replace the specification or specimen assessment materials. In addition, it is neither prescriptive nor exhaustive.

Unit Overview Life in Nazi Germany, 1933–45 is an in-depth study, providing the opportunity for students to focus on the impact of the Nazi dictatorship on people’s lives in Germany and explore the interplay of the political, economic, social and racial forces at work in this society. This option begins with an exploration of Hitler’s takeover of political power in 1933–34. This is followed by an examination of the various ways in which the Nazi Party increased and maintained its control over the German people. The focus then shifts to study the impact of Nazi actions and policies on different sections of German society. The option concludes with an exploration of how life changed for the German people as a result of the outbreak of the Second World War. The escalation of racial persecution and the growing opposition and resistance to the Nazi regime during the war years is also explored.

Assessment Overview The assessment of this in-depth study enables students to demonstrate their historical knowledge and understanding and their ability to create structured accounts of key events in Nazi Germany in the period 193345.

The Assessment Objectives below set out the skills students should have the opportunity to develop through their study of this option and which will be assessed in the examination paper. Students should be able to:

demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the key features and characteristics of the period studied (AO1); and

CCEA Planning Framework for GCSE History

GCSE History and the Northern Ireland Curriculum at Key Stage 4

The CCEA GCSE History specification aims to build on students’ learning experiences, historical skills and understanding from Key Stage 3. In addition, through the teaching of CCEA GCSE History, opportunities exist to develop the statutory skills requirements of the Northern Ireland Curriculum at Key Stage 4. These are:

Key Stage 4 Statutory Skills Requirements

Cross-Curricular Skills Signposting in Planning Framework

Communication COMM Using Mathematics UM Using ICT UICT

Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities Signposting in Planning Framework

Problem Solving PS Working with Others WO Self-Management SM

The suggested teaching and learning activities included in this planning framework provide examples as to how, through the context of history, these statutory skills may be promoted.

Suggested Learning and Teaching Activities

Many, though not all, of the active learning and teaching methodologies suggested in this Planning Framework draw upon those described in the CCEA publication ‘Active Learning and Teaching Methods for Key Stage Three’. This document can be accessed at:http://ccea.org.uk/sites/default/files/docs/curriculum/area_of_learning/ks3_active_learning_teaching_methods.pdf

Getting Started – The Basics

Teachers may wish to provide students with some of the key words/terms/issues/people relevant to this option. In Appendix 1, some ‘starter’ words have been provided. In addition, as an introduction to this option, it may also be helpful to provide students with a timeline of the ‘big picture’. A timeline for Life in Nazi Germany, 1933–45 can be found in Appendix 2. To assist with the resourcing of this new option, we have included some possible resources which may be of use to teachers and students. Appendix 3 contains a resource list for this option.

1933 the Enabling Act Gleichschaltung the threat from

Röhm and the Sturm-Abteilung (SA)

the Night of the Long Knives

the death of von Hindenburg

Hitler becomes Führer

Exemplification of content:Students should be able to understand and explain the key steps in the Nazi consolidation of power in the years 193334 by investigating the methods used to remove elements of opposition. Students should also be able to assess the significance for the German people of each key event involved in Hitler’s takeover of power.

Suggestions for teaching and learning: Students could be introduced to each of the key

events which led to Hitler’s consolidation of power using an Each One, Teach One approach. Students could then use this information to create a timeline of the key events in Germany’s move from democracy to dictatorship during the period 1933–34

Compile a Mind Map to outline the main reasons for the Night of the Long Knives, the event itself and the immediate impact of the event (this approach could be repeated for any of the events). A Consider all Factors template could then be completed to consolidate understanding as to why Hitler ordered

Working in small groups, students could complete a Constructing Walls activity to debate the most significant factor in Hitler’s takeover of political control. This activity could be followed by the completion of a written response to this debate, using a writing frame if necessary

To complete this section, students could return to their timeline of the key events and think about the sequencing and connections between the events. On their timeline, students could make links between each of the key events adding in a summary statement of how each link helped Hitler establish a dictatorship. A ‘chain reaction’ type template could also be used

Appendix 1Developing Language for Learning: Life in Nazi Germany, 1933–1945

It is widely recognised that History is a highly literate subject where reading and writing, as well as historical analysis and interpretation of evidence, is required. It is for this reason that some students, in spite of their passion for studying history, become demotivated due to difficulties they may have in accessing the subject. To aid learning we have produced suggested key words, individuals and terms associated with Life in Nazi Germany, 1933–45. The key words produced are not intended to be exhaustive but are simply offered as a starting point for teachers to help their students develop the language for learning associated with this option.

Using Key Words

The key words provided below can be used in a variety of ways. Below are some suggestions for using key word led activities to develop the language for learning in GCSE History.

Possible Key Word Activities

Play ‘Odd One Out’ – students identify which word is different (or out of sequence from the others) and give a reason for their choice. Alternatively, students could cluster the key words through making connections and give a reason for their cluster.

Students could be asked to provide definitions for key words.

Words could be used as lesson starters or as plenary prompts.

Individual words could be placed on ‘flashcards’ and used as prompts in completing an extended writing exercise.

Teacher could design a ‘concept map’ or display a visual image - ask students to link the key words with lines, annotating these with an explanation of how they are linked.

Show on separate cards some key words (or events). Students arrange the cards in what they think are a suitable order of rank importance (i.e. in terms of answering a particular question). Alternatively, a number of students could be given a card and asked to stand at the front of the class – the remainder of the class decide on the ordering (students with cards will be told where to position themselves in order of importance or they maybe asked to sit down).

Lists could be used for spell checks.
