discussing the effects of World War I on Europe.

The students will determine if Germany should have had to compensate more or less for World War I.

The students will discuss if the limiting of the German military was a necessary component in the Treaty of Versailles.

The students will theorize if the League of Nations would have been more successful had more countries joined.Materials and Advanced Preparation Text: Holt McDougal Modern World History, Patterns of Interaction, Virginia Student Edition, 2011, Beck Materials: Newsprint, Markers, World Maps, and PowerPoint Notes Advanced Preparation: The second day, the desks will be rearranged into pods and the groups will act as countries at the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. This setting will also be used as the League of Nations. Teaching and Learning Sequence Introductory/Anticipatory Set: Since the class will have already been learning about World War I, there will be a natural flow in moving to discussing the ending of World War I. Maps from before and after World War I will illustrate the major changes that occurred. Tying the role of the colonies and our own national history will also make the subject relatable. Lesson Development: The content will be presented in the order that the objectives have been posted. That way, the students will be able to master the knowledge that has been presented with little or any confusion. For example, it is pertinent that the students understand the roles of the colonies in World War I and their desire for independence before taking on the issue of why the empires are starting to fall. Since the notes will have been provided, the students will be taking part in the discussion as opposed to a lecture on the content. After each objective has been met, I will ask questions to the students. This strategy will be used on both days of the presented lesson. On the second day at the end of the lesson, the groups will take on the roles of the countries at the signing of the Treaty of Versailles and tell the class how they feel about their role in the war and what should be their compensation, etc. They will then create their own treaties on the newsprint provided. Closure: The ending of each class section will be a review of the day’s topics and answering any other questions that may have arisen. The review will be a lightning round format of questions with the previously created pods, and whichever team has the most correct at the end of the game wins. Homework on the day’s topics will be assigned and explained. The first day, the homework assignment will be an essay about EITHER why the colonies wanted their independence OR were the empires collapsing due to the Treaty of Versailles or their own issues. The second day, the homework assignment will be a group project where the previously assigned groups will provide an admittance letter into the League of Nations and why your country should be involved. Homework: The assignments coinciding with the lesson are two essays, one to be done individually and the other to be done as a group. The individual essay is a choice between why the colonies wanted their independence or how and why the empires collapsed. The group essay is an admittance letter to the League of Nations. Assessment: Formative: The students’ performance during the discussions and classroom activities will be used. Taking part in discussions, asking and answering questions, and contributing in their groups will all be taken into account. Summative: The two homework assignments will be used in the determining the students’ understanding of the presented knowledge. The essays will be graded on content, spelling, structure, and grammar.
