Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Explain the origin and meaning of the word Holocaust and what made it possible in Germany after the First World War
Describe the Völkisch Movement, Nazi idealism and what changed for Jews across the 1930s
Set out what the ghettos, the Einsatzgruppen, the Wannsee Conference and the extermination camps were and what each was intended to achieve
Account for Jewish resistance efforts and why resistance was difficult
Build a dated timeline of five to seven events per year and shade a map by the number of Jewish deaths in each country

Teaching tips

The content advisory sits on page 3, before any instructions: the study covers horrific acts, discrimination and death, and the publisher asks that students be prepared for it beforehand. Read that page first.
Supplies go well beyond scissors and glue - three file folders, metal brad fasteners, a hole punch, staples, ribbon and yarn are all called for by individual booklets, so gather them before the first session.
The booklet instructions tell the student what to write as well as how to fold, which means the templates can be handed out one at a time across a unit rather than all at once.
The four blank Interesting Facts booklets are there for material the set topics do not cover, which makes them the natural home for anything a class raises that the study guide does not answer.

Skills covered

Historical knowledge organised by question - each of the first seventeen booklets poses a specific question, from what the Einsatzgruppen were meant to do to why Jews were reluctant to resist, and the answer is written inside that booklet.
Chronological sequencing - the timeline booklet asks for five to seven important events on each year tab, drawn from a study-guide timeline that runs from the 1930s to the postwar trials.
Reading a historical narrative for detail - the study guide supplies the substance, including how the ghettos were run by a Judenrat and what those councils were required to do.
Mapping quantitative data - the map booklet is shaded to a six-band key, from more than a million deaths down to fewer than twenty-five thousand.
Precise construction - every booklet carries its own cutting, folding and fastening method, from brad-fastened circles to triangle folds and stapled stacks.

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How are the twenty-eight booklets organised across the folders?

In three folders, each with its own printed layout. Folder 1 runs from the meaning and origins of the Holocaust through the Völkisch Movement, Nazi idealism, the 1930s, Kristallnacht, resettlement, the ghettos, the Einsatzgruppen and Wannsee. Folder 2 carries the extermination camps, medical experiments, resistance, escapes, the Final Solution, liberation, outcomes, the timeline and the word search. Folder 3 holds the matching quiz, map work, copywork, recipe and interesting facts.

What preparation does the lapbook need before a lesson?

More than most printables. Three file folders are folded to make the base, booklet templates are printed on 24# coloured paper, and individual booklets call for glue sticks or hot glue, scissors, metal brad fasteners, a hole punch, staples, paper clips, ribbon and yarn. The publisher also sells pre-assembled bases for anyone who would rather skip the folding.

Which booklets step outside the historical narrative?

Five of the twenty-eight. There is a Kugel recipe described as a dessert popular in Jewish homes, an Elie Wiesel copywork page to be written out by hand or in cursive, a word search, a set of six colouring pages, and four blank Interesting Facts booklets for a student's own notes.
