The League of Nations Point of View and Image Analysis

Students will read and analyze two primary sources on the League of Nations (one for America joining by James Phelan and one against America joining by Lawrence Sherman) by answering 36 questions, completing a creative task, and analyzing 7 images (prompts provided). 

***UPDATED to include an additional creative task to compare and contrast the sources.***

The answers are included where appropriate and this would be great for a sub! 

Sample questions include:
--Which image most aligns with Sherman’s excerpt and why?
--Explain the significance of Taft’s quote.
--Why does Phelan caution against “serenely regarding” Europe?
--In what way(s) would America be a hypocrite if it did not join the League?
--How does Sherman imply that America might not be a good fit for the League of Nations?
--What end is being sought, and do you think Sherman is convinced it’s possible, why or why not?
--Which of Phelan’s points does Sherman most effectively counter and why?
--If you could re-title each text, what would you choose and why?
