IGCSE History Paper 1 Revision - Chapter 1 Treaty of Versailles in a nutshell

A full revision run through of Chapter 1 - ‘How fair was the Treaty of Versailles?’ for the new 2024 Cambridge IGCSE (0470) History Paper 1 exam.

This lesson has been produced following the completion of the new Paper 4 IGCSE training course delivered by Cambridge International Examinations for the 2024 specification (CIE).

This resource includes an 11 slide PowerPoint presentation which concisely yet comprehensively reviews the core content in Chapter 1. Packed with dual coding tasks, gap fills, memory games and recall activities, this lesson can be used as a teacher-led, lightning-speed run through the day before the exam, or could easily fill a double period using the tasks and revision activities included. Fully adaptable to suit individual teacher and class need.

Additionally, this lesson comes with a BONUS A3 mind map which breaks down the key details and most salient points of the chapter in one visual, colour coded knowledge organiser. Fantastic for less-able students who struggle with note making or those high flyers who struggle to condense. These mind maps have been invaluable with my own classes in consolidating, condensing and linking together key information, and each year students comment on how useful they find them to revise from, particularly the day before and morning of the exam as a quick refresh!
