Aim:
How did the United States respond to the post-World War II geo-political
climate?
Objectives:
1.
Students will examine causes, course, and consequences of the early years of
the Cold War (Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan, NATO, Warsaw Pact).
2.
Students will analyze significant foreign policy events during the Truman,
Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon administrations.
Agenda:
1. Bell Ringer (10 min) 2. Activity: Participate in a “human timeline” of the major events of the early Cold War. Assign individuals or pairs of students an event to represent on the timeline, and give students time to prepare their timeline presentation – each should prepare a written description of their event and find or draw a picture to represent it.
Build the timeline in the classroom by having students line up in order (a U-shape or circle may work best). Finally, have each student or pair present their information in order. Detailed instructions for using this teaching strategy can be found here: https://www.facinghistory.org/for-educators/educator-resources/teachingstrategy/human-timeline.
