May 13


We marked the Cold War Concepts Quiz in class today, and then we started talking about the nuclear arms race during the Cold War. We watched a short video called "Duck and Cover" as well today. I will be either sending you notes on the nuclear arms agreements, or giving them to you in class tomorrow, depending on how successful I am at reducing the document down in length.


We continued working on the Cold War Events booklet in class today. By now, you should be at least in the 1970s, probably near the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, if not finished the entire booklet. We watched a short video on the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 called "Mr. Kennedy Mr. Khrushchev". Tomorrow and on Tuesday, I will be showing you some films on the Vietnam War.


Today was a work period, where you were reading Chapters 9 and 10 in Exploring Nationalism and completing the Chapter 9 and 10 Key Terms and Questions from the Unit 3 Worksheet. The Chapter 9 Key Terms will be due on Tuesday, May 19th. Please remember that your Unit 2 Collaborative Inquiry Project presentations will be going ahead tomorrow, so be prepared! I have sent you rubrics for evaluation of this project already, so make sure that your projects meet or exceed the expectations for this project.
