May 14


We played a review game today in class in preparation for tomorrow's Unit 3 Final Exam. Please remember to review for the exam, here is the study guide.


We watched a video today called "Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Khrushchev" which looked at these two leaders in the Cuban Missile Crisis. I also did a homework check on your Cold War booklet. I also gave you a new booklet on the 6W's of the Cold War Period. I gave you class time to work on this booklet. The 6W's are as follows:

  • Who was involved?
  • Where did this occur?
  • When did this occur?
  • What happened?
  • Why did it happen?
  • What was the outcome?

The events that you were to examine were as follows:

  • Truman Doctrine
  • Marshall Plan
  • Berlin Airlift
  • NATO/NORAD/Warsaw Pact
  • Korean War
  • Berlin Wall
  • U2 Spy Plane
  • Space Race/Sputnik
  • Cuban Missile Crisis
  • Vietnam War
  • Nuclear Arms Race
  • Detente
  • Afghanistan

You could use your textbook A History of the Twentieth Century and/or the booklet Cold War and After that you had access to in class today. You'll get some more class time to work on this booklet tomorrow in class.
