Last week, the 8th graders talked about the end of World War I. On Friday, they participated in a simulation of the Treaty of Versailles. Each group represented a different country from the Allies (The United States, Great Britain, France, and Italy) and argued about how the treaty should deal with Germany. They answered questions like should Germany have to pay for the war, should they take full blame for the war, and what should be done with its overseas territories. Then, during the next lesson, the students compared the treaty that they made with the actual Treaty of Versailles.
Upcoming Dates:
- Monday, November 9 World War I Menu due
- Tuesday, November 10 World War I test
Questions for your 8th grader:
- Who did you represent during the Treaty of Versailles simulation and how did they believe Germany should be treated?
- Was the Treaty of Versailles a good treaty?
