Appeasement Point of View Analysis

Students will read and analyze excerpts from Neville Chamberlain and Winston Churchill on appeasement after the Munich Conference by answering 32 questions (whether or not Britain should have pursued a policy of appeasement with Germany). They will also analyze 2 political cartoons and complete an extension task. This would be great for a sub and the answers are included where appropriate. 

Sample questions include:
--What would it take for Chamberlain to agree to go to war?
--Summarize the advice Chamberlain gives at the end of his 1938 address.
--How does he justify his advice to the Czechs? 
--Write a contextually appropriate synonym, or definition, for “unmitigated.”
--Explain the role the League of Nations could have played in these events.
--Who does Churchill hold responsible for the current situation and why?
--What was Chamberlain’s most convincing point and why? What was his weakest point and why?
--If you were a reporter in 1938/1939, what are 3 questions you would have asked each, Chamberlain and Churchill, after listening to them deliver their speeches?
