Explores the Treaty of Versailles. This lesson is suitable for both KS3 and GCSE. I tend to just use the LA version of the worksheet for my KS3 groups. After a quick starter, the lesson looks at the ‘Big Three’ at the Paris Peace Conference and their motivations after WWI. The students then look at some of the terms of the treaty using BRAT (Blame, Reparations, Army and Territory). There are two versions of the worksheet for this activity, one is written in slightly more simple English to be easier to understand for some students. The lesson then moves onto the analysis of a source (there is a slide at the end which has four copies of the source for printing and cutting if you would like the students to have it in front of them instead of just on the board). The question in the lesson asks for two inferences from the source but sometimes I ask the students to analyse it in more detail and to try to figure out who each person represents and what the meaning of the source is. I have been using this lesson for a long time and always find the students enjoy it and it flows well. Enjoy!
