This assessment pack includes past paper questions from the Oxford and Cambridge exam board as well as student mark schemes and guides on how to tackle various different types of questions. If you teach another board, the format is very easy to adapt and should just be able to drop in your own level descriptors into the pupil mark schemes.
This works a treat and armed with purple pens you can teach students not only the assessment criteria and how to answer the questions properly, but you can also cut your own marking down and look really good at the same time :-)

If you are looking for a really quick way to use this resource you could give your students highlighters to pick out the bits of the treaty which were fair / unfair or they could simply write ‘C’ or ‘P’ for pro and con next to it before sticking the sheet into their book.
I have also recently updated this resource to also include a PP presentation with aims,objectives, starters, plenaries, information slides, historical sources, two alternative activities to help facilitate the main ‘pro and con’ activity. As an additional extra, I have also included a thinking skills review triangle exercise to help students access why the Germans felt humiliated by the terms of the Treaty of Versailles.
