Aim:
1. How did the Reagan administration respond to the domestic and international social, political, and economic concerns of the 1980s?

Bell Ringer: Fill in Attachment B of the Foreign Policy Unit
Objectives:
1. Students will analyze the foreign policy of the United States as it relates to Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Middle East.
Agenda:
1.
“The absence of war is not peace.” Harry S. Truman, 33rd President of the United States.
Ask students to share ideas about the meaning of the quote. Ask for student volunteers to try to define the term “foreign policy.”
3. Share definition: Foreign Policy: a policy pursued by a nation in its dealings with other nations, designed to achieve national objectives.
4. Foreign policy is not synonymous with defense policy, but on the contrary, if used appropriately can often avoid the use of force. (5 min)
5. You will be creating a graphic organizer of the main points of foreign policy since 1976. Distribute Attachment B. You may work in pairs reading pages 444-446, 464-477, 486-487, 492-495, 500-505 in McGraw-Hill’s United States History & Geography. These pages present key information and ideas of foreign policy issues, decisions and events in the presidential terms of Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama.
Use the information in these pages and your textbooks and/or classroom computers with internet access to identify and list key events in the graphic organizer. (15/20 min)
6. Once you have completed the graphic organizer, use Attachment A to discuss student responses on the graphic organizer. (Give out Attachment A before students research so they know what to research)
