 Consider a time in your life when you were unfairly disciplined for something you did.  This should be something you feel comfortable sharing…not time to confess all!

 What did you do?  What was the punishment?  Who punished you?  How did you respond?  How did you wish to respond?  Did you feel you had been unjustly punished? Why?

 You will be reading excerpts of a speech by someone who feels he has been unjustly punished.  Read the speech looking for context clues to try and discover the author of the speech (DON’T say if you know!)

 Refer to this handout and follow the steps/questions to deconstruct the speech.  You can write on the speech…  Underline words or phrases that lead you to the identity of the author.

 WHO WROTE THE SPEECH?  What context clues (what you underlined) led you to this conclusion?

 An angry Adolf Hitler wrote the speech 4 years after the Treaty of Versailles was signed.  According to the speech, was this a peace treaty or a treaty of betrayal?

 Who were the “winners” and “losers” of WWI?  What events do you think influenced Hitler?  How does he sway his audience to his way of thinking?  What words or phrases are meant to stir up or inflame his audience?  What is the significance of the speech and content?  What was the cause of the anger in the speech? How did this happen?
