You did the jigsaw activity today with each member of your group taking 15 minutes to teach the others in the group their section of the Cold War. For the last 35 minutes of class your group should have produced a detailed outline to answer one of the two essay questions that you were given. Please have a hard copy of the outline and question sheet to hand in tomorrow. I want to check it over to make sure that you did it right.
