GUIDING FRAMEWORK

Name: Tyler Runge Date: 10/23/17 Grade: 12Grouping Formats: __X__ Whole Group __X___ Small Group __X___ Individual: _____ (check all that apply)Total number of students: __8___Individualized Learning Goals (specify for each identified student): Instructional Context: Student shave knowledge about Nazi Germany, and the war fought. Most students have very little knowledge about how the Nazi’s were able to gain and maintain power. This lesson is the foundation to build scaffolding to high level thinking about how dictatorships can arise.

Central Focus: Students will know the methods used by Nazi Germany to gain and maintain power in Germany.

Title of Lesson: Nazi powerState Curriculum Standard(s): SS.H.3.9-12 Evaluate the methods utilized by people and institutions to promote change.

Theme:Global Connections Learning Objective(s): Students will know how propaganda and laws played into the Nazi Party keeping power in Germany and if they relate to our modern day world.

Assessments: Exit slip

Academic Language: Nuremburg LawsFuhrerHitler YouthPropagandaInstructional Materials: Nazi LawsNazi Laws AnalysisNazi Propoganda

Instruction: Attention Getter:To start the students will be paired up and given a piece of Nazi Propaganda. The students will have a couple minutes to analyze the propaganda. Once finished, all the groups will write on the board what they found out about their piece of propaganda. Once everyone is done, I will put the propaganda up on the projector and the pair will explain what it is they found out about their propaganda. We will repeat this until done and discuss questions like:How did they get away with publishing this?Why did people follow the Nazi’s? Could this happen today?Once finished, we will move onto the lesson.

Lesson:To transition from propaganda to laws, we will quickly discuss generally how a law gets passed, and how an anti-semetic or racist law gets passed. Once done discussing, I will hand out two laws/events that happened in the early rise of the Nazi party to each student. The student will fill out a handout about each law. While analyzing the law, they will ask questions like:What does this law do?Who benefits from this law?Who suffers from this law?Is there a hidden meaning behind this law?How could this law influence the German people?Why would the Nazi’s pass this law?Once each student has these questions answered for each of their laws, we will work our way around the table discussing each students laws and what they found.

Conclusion:To conclude this lesson we will do an exit slip that wraps up what we have discussed today. There is also a question about the Hitlre Youth, our topic during the next lesson, to get the students thinking. The last question is an analytical question where they apply what they learned today to their real lives.

Analysis of Student Learning & Next Steps (Post Conference): Using the assessment at the end of the lesson about Hitler Youth, and connecting that the laws and propaganda, I will determine if the students fully grasped the concept of how the Nazis maintained power. If the students do not fully comprehend, we will spend more time going over the material in our next lesson. If they show comprehension, we will move onto the next lesson and build upon what we learned in this lesson.
