On this page you will find a suggested course outline to teach Nazi Germany and the Holocaust and apartheid South Africa in Grade 9. We have tried to design this course outline so that it will be possible to complete both case studies in the first half of the year. We have at times included extra resources and lesson ideas so that you can go into greater depth where and when you feel it is appropriate.
