Aim: How did the United States respond to the post-World War II geo-political climate?

Bell Ringer: Review Journal 62

Objectives:
1. Students will examine causes, course, and consequences of the early years of the Cold War (Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan, NATO, Warsaw Pact).

3. Activity: Randomly assign 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.
4. Introduce your terms to each other and explain to one another how they relate to the Cold War. (30 min)
5. Complete the note-taking guide (Attachment B, p. 7-8) using their textbooks (McGraw-Hill United States History & Geography pp. 318-326), online resources, or class notes as appropriate. Teachers may want to guide students through completing the notes, have students work in small groups, or assign students to complete notes independently. (rest of class)
