patterns of social life and the factors
which influenced changes to social life in
the first half of the twentieth century.
How did life change for people (Jews and
Germans) living in Nazi Germany?
Read the question
With reference to ‘The Boy in Striped
Pyjamas’, class activities and independent
research demonstrate your understanding
of AT LEAST THREE features (from the
‘Seven Structures of Control’) of life in
Nazi Germany.
For each ‘structure’ do you have a film
reference and specific research references?
Be prepared
Did you:
• Attend all or most classes in the weeks before the essay?
• Read through the assessment criteria to know what was
expected?
• Complete the film questions in the class discussion?
• Complete the notes diagram for evidence of the ‘Seven
Structures of Control’ in the film in the class activity?
• Complete an essay plan with at least one reference to the film
and at least two or three examples for each topic from credible
research sources?
• Use the online referencing tool or bibliography template,
handed out at the start of the task, to credit your research
sources?

Choosing research sources
• Is it one of the many websites I included in handouts or
posted on the Ultranet or Wikispace?
• Is it one of the 21 books that were borrowed from the
library?
• Do you know who the author of your research source is?
• Do they have an academic/history background (e.g.
University lecturer)?
• Is their organisation credible (i.e. Holocaust Museum vs
dedicated Neo-Nazi Enthusiast)?

writing?
