The aim of this lesson is for students to understand the differing aims of the ‘Big Three’ at the Paris Peace Conference.
This lesson is the second lesson of ‘Part 1’ covering the Inter-war Years 1918-39 for the Cambridge IGCSE curriculum. It also works for other exam boards that examine the Treaty of Versailles.
The lesson begins with the students coming up with their own peace treaty to offer Germany.
Students are given a background on the other peace treaties decided in Paris.
Students investigate the aims of Britain, France and the USA and their attitude towards Germany. This is done by the students reading a key information sheets, highlighting those sheets for SPEND (statistics, places, events, names, dates) and completing a table.
Student work is checked and reviewed as a class with answers displayed on the board.
Source analysis is introduced to the students, with an example being completed as a class.
Students then analyse two sources and answer two GCSE-style questions.
Specific points of difference between the leaders are analysed before the students read a list of statements and have to decide who best said each.
The lessons concludes with a recap of the key information from the lesson.
Some key words and phrases from the lesson:
