students one of the following key terms: Bay of Pigs Invasion; Cuban Missile
Crisis; Berlin Wall; Peace Corps; Alliance for Progress; Central Intelligence
Agency; Sputnik; U-2 Incident. Have them use information from their textbooks,
class notes, or online resources to create a “who-what-when-where-why” poster
illustrating their term. Posters should include the
key term in BOLD letters, WHO was involved, WHAT the term means, WHEN it
occurred or began, WHERE it is located, and WHY the event happened or WHY the
organization was created. Posters should include visual appeal and key bullet
points.

have students work in small groups, or assign students to complete notes
independently. (rest of class)
