    On the Hundredth Anniversary of the Start of World War I, Remembering the Part Animals Played

    Last year, we delved into World War One and Animals in WW1.

    This year, we are moving onto World War Two. Our focus will be on Empowerment of Women during the war and we will beginning this next term.

    For now, we will be reviewing what we already know about World War One and consolidating our knowledge here.

    Learning Objective: What was the attraction of Hitler and the Nazi Party?


    To explore why different groups of people were attracted to Hitler and the Nazi Party.


    Success Criteria: 

    • To examine four different reasons explaining Hitler’s popularity.

    • To explain how these reasons linked together to allow Hitler to become a leading politician in 1930s Germany.

    • To evaluate a variety of sources to come to a sustained and reasoned conclusion why Hitler became so popular by 1933.


    Starter

    What was Germany like in 1919?

    Pupils should read the key information about Germany post-First World War and to communicate their knowledge through symbols and drawing.

    Main Activities

    Who was Hitler in 1919?

    Read through key information as a class and then note down at least six key facts that describe Hitler’s position in 1919.

    Work in pairs or small groups to correctly identify which of the words in the table would be useful to label Hitler in 1919. 

    Possible questioning/task: Ask pupils to note down two descriptors that surprised them and two that didn’t.

    Class discussion: If you knew nothing about Hitler’s rise to power in the 1930s, how likely would you say it was that this unknown and angry man, a previous artist, would become the leader of Germany in 1933?

    Discuss the term ‘evil’ and whether or not Hitler could be labeled as evil in 1919, or, in fact, later on.

    How popular was Hitler in 1923?

    Read through the key information on the Munich Putsch and explain why the Putsch failed. How popular was Hitler in 1919?

    Explain why the Putsch failed in 1923 – opportunity for peer assessment and class discussion.


    How popular was Hitler in 1933?

    Work with the differentiated resource Why was Hitler so popular?

    Look  for times and reasons for differing popularity of the Nazi Party and then plotting these on a living graph. 

    Who liked Hitler?

    In groups or pairs, examine why different sections of Germany were attracted to Hitler. Class discussion: What common themes are coming out as reasons for Nazi support?

    Why were people attracted to Hitler? Using the resource Why were people attracted to Hitler?, pupils should choose three of the people in the photograph and

    imagine what reasons they might have for supporting Hitler based upon what they have learned from the lesson. Pupils should

    pick three people within the photograph and draw a line from them to the three speech bubbles and explain their reasons for

    supporting Hitler.

    This could also serve as a starter/revision task for a following lesson.

    Plenary

    Why was Hitler so popular?

    Think/Pair/Share: As a class/pairs to aid differentiation, pupils explain and link different reasons for the rise in Nazi popularity for 2/3 mins.
