Aim: How did the Treaty of Versailles attempt to achieve peace, and to what extent did it succeed?
Bell Ringer: Handout "Wilson Tries a Moralistic Foreign Policy" / Grade and collect WWI Propaganda Posters and packet “Battlefronts”
Objectives:
1. Students will examine the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles and the failure of the United States to support the League of Nations.
Agenda:
1. Bell Ringer (10 min)
2. Grade & review "The Battlefronts" (10 min)
3. Introduce and begin WWI research presentations and assess using attached rubric (Attachment C) (10 min)
4. Activity: Participate in a Treaty of Versailles Simulation (Attachment G). First, pass out a character sheet (Attachment G, page 1-4) to each student so that a third of the students receive Woodrow Wilson, a third receive Clemenceau, and a third David Lloyd George. Read over your character sheets to prepare to take on the role of that person in the simulation. Next, form groups of 3 (one Wilson, one Clemenceau, and one George per group). Tell them that they will be acting as “The Big Three” to discuss areas of concern and create their own Treaty of Versailles. Pass out the options chart and answer sheet (Attachment G, page 5-6) to each group and use the information on the options chart to fill in their answer sheet. Remind them
they must be “in character.” Finally, discuss the groups’ decisions and reasoning. (25 min)
Home Learning:
1. Packet "Trench Warfare"
