This lesson was taught by Claire Conley-Harper and her excellent team of history teachers at Court Moor School in Fleet, Hampshire.
Context
This lesson is taught at KS4, as part of the OCR Modern World syllabus. It is possible to teach this lesson at the end of the unit of work on the Treaty of Versailles, as it addresses the key question of that unit. However, we choose to teach it as part of the unit on the breakdown of peace by 1939, as this enables students to draw upon and consolidate the knowledge and understanding they have gained of the period 1919-1939.
Learning objectives
- students should be able to present a balanced argument, supported by examples.
- students should be able to draw a conclusion and explain it.
