Internet lesson from
SCORE site for World History:  www.score.rims.k12.ca.us/
activity/paris_peace_
conference/

This problem-based learning unit asks students to assume roles as experts from countries that participated in World War I. These experts will meet both in expert groups and with their respective country representatives to determine what terms, in four specific areas, should be included in the treaty which will formally end the war. Next, they must decide as countries whether they will sign the treaty they have negotiated. To conclude the unit, students will compare the treaty they create with the real Treaty of Versailles to determine which treaty would most likely ensure long lasting peace in Europe.

Student groups will be assigned to research specific groups of people, i.e. scientists, thinkers, poets, artists, musicians of the period.  Each group will brainstorm people who had the greatest impact on cultural life during the period.  Individual students will, using the list designed by their group, research one person, write a one to two page report, and design a magazine cover "nominating" that person as the person of the decade.

Step back in time to assume roles as experts from countries that participated in World War I. These experts will meet both in expert groups and with their respective country representatives to determine what terms, in four specific areas, should be included in the treaty which will formally end the war. Next, they must decide as countries whether they will sign the treaty they have negotiated. At the conclusion of the unit, compare your treaty twith the real Treaty of Versailles to determine which treaty would most likely ensure long lasting peace in Europe.

Rubrics are included with the lesson plan and are available at the SCORE site.

Students will be graded for the quality of their research paper and for the originality of the magazine cover nominating a "person of the decade".    Each group will present its reports to the class as a panel discussion, with one student acting as moderator.  Individual students will present their papers to the class during the panel presentation and will be expected to answer questions about their subject.  Groups will be expected to answer questions and defend their selections.
