This World War I lesson investigates why WWI came to an end in November 1918. It looks at 8 different reasons, including the situation within Germany as well as the battlefield, to evaluate why WWI ended on 11 November 1918.

This download includes a fully editable powerpoint with all activities, instructions, clip links and worksheets/information sheets you need. It is differentiated 2/3 ways where possible with scaffolding and challenge options and is fully planned with plenty of activities for your students to complete including a starter, all clips and related tasks, information sheet with activities, diamond 8 think pair share activity, mini-plenaries, a consolidation essay style question and a ‘What If’ plenary.
