I showed you a video today called "Why Appeasement?", and while you were watching this video you were to complete a film study. I also gave you a GCSE package today that covered Mein Kampf, the Munich Conference, appeasement, and the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact. In this package, on page 131, you find arguments for and against appeasement. What I want you to do is create a chart on a separate piece of paper, and organize these arguments into two columns "FOR" and "AGAINST" appeasement. Then I what you to write a paragraph where you outline which side has the stronger arguments, and WHY. I will take this in on Monday, April 27th. You MUST read all of this booklet!
