I can identify major differences between the pre-1919 and post 1919 maps of Europe.

land lost by Germany, Austria-Hungary & the Ottoman Empire

newly formed countries of Europe

I can explain the importance of these people at the Paris Peace Conference:

Wilson, Clemenceau, Lloyd-George, Vittorio Orlando

I can explain how the following terms applied to Germany in 1919:

Reasoning

Targets

“What I can do with

what I know.”

I can evaluate to what extent Wilson’s 14 Points are reflected in the Treaty of Versailles.

I can evaluate to what extent France (and its leader Clemenceau) were satisfied with the

Treaty of Versailles.

I can evaluate the extent to which Lloyd George and the British Government were satisfied

with the treaty of Versailles.

people after 1919.

I can explain how the Treaty of Versailles may have led to increased nationalism in a

number of different groups/nations.

I can explain how the Mandate system under the League of Nations angered the Arab

people of the Middle East.

Skill

Targets

“What I can

demonstrate.”

Depending on whom I represent at the Paris Peace Conference: I can apply the interests of either Britain, France, or the USA in a PPC group negotiation

or

I can argue for self-determination on behalf of a smaller delegation in a PPC group

negotiation

I can prepare a 2 minute speech to give to the delegates at the Paris Peace Conference

(minorities only)

I can prepare a 1-2 minute speech outlining how either Britain, France or the USA approach one of these key issues:

war costs and reparations

map of Europe and colonies

future military strength considerations

war guilt and prevention

Product Targets

“What I can make to

show my learning.”

I can write a 1-2 page reflection on the PPC, incorporating the following topics:

my overall impression of the experience

elements I found frustrating and/or successful

how it affected my understanding of the difficulties associated with

war guilt, colonies, self-determination and the prevention of future wars.
