Card Sort - What were the aims of the peacemakers at Versailles in 1919?

This engaging lesson has been designed to help students understand the aims of the peacemakers at Versailles in 1919. There are a series of tasks and activities built into the lesson, but the final outcome is to test students understanding by getting them to compare and contrast the aims of the peacemakers by completing a card sort exercise. These resources are suitable for the full range of ability and designed to work along side any mainstream textbook or video on the Treaty of Versailles. However, I have included a detailed PP to accompany the main resource. If you are interested in delving deeper into this topic, then this lesson can be purchased as bundled discount along with lessons on the Treaty of Versailles and downloaded from my online shop.

When you purchase these resources you will be able to download a two page card sort and an accompanying PowerPoint. The card sort includes aims, objectives, instructions, headings and information cards to sort, The eighteen slide PowerPoint includes a ‘snowballing’ and a ‘buzz and go starter’ as well information slides, historical sources, pictures, diagrams, tasks and activities to support the lesson. The PowerPoint also includes aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, templates and a plenary.
