April 24


You started watching "Dear America: Letters Home from Vietnam" today. You should be able to finish this documentary off tomorrow. You should be working on your Chapter 7 Key Terms and Questions tonight, they are due on Friday. You should also re-read the section in Chapter 7 on McCarthyism tonight at home. It's on pages 265-267 in Perspectives on Ideology textbook. Please see the study guide below for the Chapter 7 Test (The Cold War). The Chapter 7 Test is on Wednesday, May 1st.

It is a multiple choice test with 70-75 multiple choice questions, but with all of the omitted questions, it will be closer to 60 questions. Please make sure that you have read Chapter 7. Here are some other study tips:
  • study "The Origins of the Cold War (ppt)"
  • study all notes on the Origins and Causes of the Cold War
  • study notes on the Korean War
  • study notes on the Cuban Missile Crisis
  • study notes on the Vietnam War (see notes package and Vietnam War booklet, and the notes that I sent to you on the Vietnam War)
  • make sure that you know all the Cold War Concepts (deterrence, detente, brinkmanship, etc.)

  • know major arms reduction agreements (bilateral agreements and multilateral agreements)
  • know about the formation of alliances (NATO, Warsaw Pact) and the formation of "spheres of influence" (Eastern Europe for example)
  • anything that I gave you as a handout in your Social 30-1 coursebooks is testable material and should be reviewed!!
