Students do not need to do anything with this picture at the start of the lesson – it is here to provoke thought/discussion only as it is included in a task later on in the lesson. You might wish to ask students what they think it is about, or get them to record what they can see as a means of settling into the lesson. “THE DAY”

HOW COULD A FUTURE WAR BE AVOIDED? WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN NEXT? The First World War had cost over 20 million lives. The world had never seen a war of this scale before. Was it possible again? In the months that followed the war, people started to ask questions. How could a war like this be prevented from happening again? Some people needed a direction at which to vent their anger, but whose fault had it been anyway? HOW COULD A FUTURE WAR BE AVOIDED? WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN NEXT? Reflection on the end of World War One. The question in the thought bubble should act as a bridge into ToV – so allow some discussion time for students to consider what might happen next. They may guess the answer based on previous study. Use the Life in Germany textbook (Waugh and Leonard) to look at the main terms of the ToV (page 7)

Task: How did the Germans react to the Treaty of Versailles Task: How did the Germans react to the Treaty of Versailles? Skill: To prioritise events in terms of their importance (Make a Judgement) DEMONSTRATE THE ORDER IN WHICH THE GERMAN PEOPLE OBJECTED TO THE TREATY OF VERSAILLES Self explanatory task which gets students to consider significance and make a judgement. Students need to place the 4 main terms of ToV (Reparations, War Guilt, Military restrictions and Territorial losses) OR LAMB (Land, Army, Money, Blame) into order of IMPACT on the German people. There is a blank worksheet in the folder for this if needed to save time drawing out circles. Start with the MOST HATED part of the treaty in the middle, then work your way out!

EXTENDED THINKING: Can you explain WHY you have ordered them in this way? Annotate your diagram to show your thinking This is the JUDGEMENT part of the task, where students need to justify their reasoning.

German reactions to the Treaty of Versailles Use the layers of inference worksheet to complete this task. Depending on nature of group you may want to start them off with some ideas. Links to the exam (Q1 - 4 mark inference Q): Doing the inside layer only “what can you see”, would only get them 2 marks. 1 mark for up to two valid points. E.g. “I can see that they are trying to force a pill called peace terms down the persons throat”. They cannot get more than 2 marks even if they identify every part of the picture. For 4 marks they must do the outer layer (inference). It is worth impressing this point on them now, even though this will not be marked as an exam style question.

Describe the objections of the German people to the Treaty of Versailles (9 marks) Level What you are looking for 1 1-3 marks Basic or simple statements which are relevant to the topic but show little understanding. E.g. “The German people did not like having to pay reparations.” 2 4-6 marks Description/narrative of relevant material. This answer “tells the story”. E.g. The German people really objected to having to pay reparations, which were set at the total sum of £6,600 million to cover the cost of damages in France caused by the war” 3 7-9 marks There is a real focus on the question and there is a clear attempt to explain and evaluate the history. E.g. One of the things the German people objected to the most was the reparation payments. They felt that the huge sum of money would have a negative impact on their economy and did not believe they should pay for all of the damage caused by the war as they did not accept that it was their sole responsibility for starting it” 9 mark exam style question. Generic comments about each level are found on this slide. You may also use the mark grid with students which has further guidance (including SPAG) and in any case should be used to provide feedback. Students can use information from today’s lesson as well as pages 8-9 in Life in Germany (Waugh and Leonard) Use your mark grid to also focus on the spelling, punctuation and grammar (SPAG/Literacy) requirements for this essay.

Homework Complete the 9 mark essay: “Describe the objections of the German people to the Treaty of Versailles” Remember to use your mark grid and pages 8 & 9 of your textbook to help. You will be using this piece of work next lesson. Please stress to students that this is vital as they will need a completed essay at the start of next lesson!
