We continued our look at the Cold War today in class. I gave you a worksheet on "Cold War Events", from the Truman Doctrine to Afghanistan, and you were to read from The Cold War and After, and complete the 6Ws for each event. I also showed you a video that covered key Cold War events from the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall Plan, the Berlin Airlift, and the Korean War. We'll finish this video tomorrow, and then we'll watch one on the Cuban Missile Crisis tomorrow as well. I will also collect the homework assignment that I was supposed to check today in tomorrow's class.
