Women, Youth Questions and Revision

Some women and a man in Nazi Germany (not my best ever caption admittedly)

This week we will be examining the experience of women in Nazi Germany. Were the aims and the reality necessarily similar?

We will also be answering some questions on Youth and Education in Nazi Germany so it is vital you are fully prepared for that.

Some revision sheets (in a booklet) will be available at reception priced at 50p. Any very minor profits will be ploughed back into History (we will be talking pence not pounds!). The revision sheets were not prepared by me and were for a slightly different course e.g. there is relatively little on women, economic policy and anti-semitism in there. But students have found them of some use in the past.

Many of you have textbooks which will help you. I have put other useful links on this site (both books and websites). Often students quite like the CGP revision books as a basis as well; though unfortunately I am unaware of any that deal with Germany and the Crime units you are doing. However, the good side is even though I did not choose them I think you are doing the best, most interesting and most useful units both in themselves and for the future (whatever you do). However, remember what we have done in class goes into much more detail and is tailored at EXACTLY what you need. If you are missing any sheets / or work from books do that get them photocopied.

Finally, I am away all week w/c Monday 5 March 2012. Unavoidable I am afraid (being interviewed for the England job amongst other things). It is vital you cover all the material from the lesson on Friday 9 March 2012 as well as you would normally do. It could all come up in the exam.

Reminder the History exam is on Tuesday 13 March 09:10 - 10:25. 

A Couple of Pages that might be of use to the high fliers amongst you!

Above is a link to some A Level Pages that might help you - just stumbled upon them and the History Bee takes no responsibility for any content.

There is a lot of useful stuff out there!

Last Week's Homework Questions

As requested here are the questions that students were set - for those that were away (though you should catch up yourself by asking students - It is your responsibility to catch up missed work.

Both are 9 mark questions

1. Describe the effects of the Reichstag Fire in February 1933 on Hitler's consolidation of power.
