Unpacking loaded terms from the Interwar period

ERIN CUNNINGHAM

I'm approaching the interwar ideologies lessons in WHP Origins Unit 8 and terms like "fascism" and "Nazis" have been circulating the news lately. When teaching about these terms in the context of the early 20th century, what have you done to help students unpack and understand both the historical and present-day connotations?

  • Nazis is a little bit harder I feel like, but fascism is like an ideology that you can easily have the kids use the definition of to decide whether they view things that are going on as fascist or not. You could even have like an "isms" lesson where they learn anarchism, fascism, socialism, communism, capitalism, authoritarianism, etc. and then have them apply them to different policies etc.
