I went through "The End of the Cold War" notes in the Social 30-1 workbook today. Then we back-tracked and started a film study of "Good Night, and Good Luck". You are responsible for answering the study questions from the film study. I also did a homework check on your Vietnam War Assignment today. One week from today, you'll be writing your Chapter 7 Test on the Cold War, please see the study guide below.
