Conflict & Tension 1894 - 1918: Verdun

AQA GCSE history lesson on the battle of Verdun for the Conflict & Tension 1894-1918 unit.

We start with a simple retrieval practice quiz. We then look at the location of Verdun and why the German’s thought that an offensive there would be effective. The pupils watch a video clip and answer questions on Falkenhayn’s plan, we then look at the events of the battle. The pupils read a sample of text and answer the questions relating to the text around the outside. We then move on the the aftermath and the pupils complete a battle summary sheet. There is a source activity and exam practice question.

Hope you find this useful and it saves you some planning time.
