Treaty of Versailles - Pro & Con Sort Activity

This resource is designed to be used as a starter, mini plenary or a plenary for students studying ‘how fair was the treaty of Versailles?’ The Word document contains a pro & con organizer as well as a list of statements which could be cut up and stuck on or even written out onto the organizer. 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.

The overarching aims and objectives of these resources are:

Theme: The Treaty of Versailles
Know: Why did the allies force Germany to sign the Treaty of Versailles?
Understand: How were the terms of the treaty designed to prevent another war?
Evaluate: Why did the Germans feel humiliated by the Treaty of Versailles?

WILF - What Am I Looking For?
Identify & Describe: Why did the allies force Germany to sign the Treaty of Versailles?
Explain: How were the terms of the treaty designed to prevent another war?
Analyze: Why did the Germans feel humiliated by the Treaty of Versailles?
