April 26


If you didn't finish off "Shake Hands with the Devil" yesterday, you would have today. Hopefully, you got some time today to work on your Chapter 8 Key Terms and Questions. This homework assignment is due next Friday, May 3rd. You will be writing your Unit 2 WRA I on Tuesday, April 30th. You won't be allowed to have the WRA I writing guide out when you write it, so you need to memorize the steps.


You should have handed in your Chapter 7 Key Terms and Questions today at the beginning of class. We continued watching "Good Night, and Good Luck" today in class. Don't forget that you have the Unit 2 WRA II Essay on Monday, May 6th and the Chapter 7 Test 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 the chronology of events of the Cold War (study the Cold War timeline)
  • know key events that we've emphasized in class (for example: Berlin Airlift, Korean War, Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam War) plus other key events from the timeline
  • 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!!
  • know how the Cold War ends and its results/consequences
