Aim: How did the United States respond to the post-World War II geo-political climate?
Bell Ringer: COMPLETE THE LAST THREE PAGES of EOC Review Packet
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.
Suggested events to include:
o Yalta Conference
O Dumbarton Oaks Conference
o Potsdam Conference
o “Iron Curtain”
o Truman Doctrine
o Marshall Plan
o Creation of “West Germany”
o Berlin blockade
o Berlin Airlift
o Formation of NATO
o Warsaw Pact
If there is an odd number of students or more students than needed, have one create a title "Cold War Human Timeline" to place on the display board (timeline will be put on display), and another student create the timeline on one paper and be the person to call out the events in chronological order when it's time to present each event.
