Teacher Notes

Key Stage 3:

Could be used as part of a sequence of lessons looking at the terms of the Treaty.

Students could look at the background to each of the 鈥楤ig 3鈥 at Versailles (Britain, France and USA) and decide what each country might want from the Treaty, given how they had been affected by the events of the War.

The clip could then be used to show what happened before students evaluate who would be most satisfied with the Treaty and why Lloyd-George might have feared another war as a result of the Versailles agreement.

Key Stage 4:

Could be used as part of a lesson looking at interpretations of the Treaty of Versailles.

Students could look at different sources about the Treaty, then watch this clip.

They could compare it to cartoons and interpretations to see which ones Lloyd- George鈥檚 perspective is closest matched to.

This clip will be relevant for teaching History at KS3 and KS4/GCSE in England Wales and Northern Ireland.

Also at 3rd Level, 4th Level, National 4/National 5 and Higher in Scotland.
