To Start:
On a piece of paper in the starters section of your binder jot down:
  • What do you see here?
  • What you think this cartoon is trying to convey about the Cold War?

In Class:
  • Field trip!
    • Get the field trip permission slip and driving permission slip, if you haven't already.
    • Give Ally your completed forms. 
    • Beg your parents to pretty pretty pretty please drive us so we can do this.

  • Then we'll practice making contact with veterans, both over the phone and at the parade.
    • ​A polite, professional greeting.
    • Identifying who you are, where you're from, and how you got their number (if calling).
    • Explaining our project and the interview process.
    • Asking them if they would be willing to be interviewed.
    • Asking them when they would be available. (Between November 13th and December 4th.)
    • Asking them where it would be convenient for them to meet. (A quiet place.)
    • Confirming the details.
    • Asking them to briefly explain when, where and how they served.
    • Thanking them profusely.

  • Then, we'll be looking at the US policy of containment.
    • Read and annotate the two primary sources.
      • Read all of Truman.
      • Read pages one and three of Wallace.
      • Optional: Read page two of Wallace.
    • Then, answer the following questions in your notes:
      1. Consider Truman's context. Why would he advocate for containment?
      2. What is Truman's main argument?
      3. How does Wallace view Truman's plans for containment?
      4. What is Wallace's main argument?
    • Finally, choose one source and create a simple political cartoon that expresses the main idea of the document.  Give it a title so that it is obvious which document it represents.

  • Last, we're going to watch a World History Crash Course on the Cold War to catch us all up.
​
For Homework:
  • Get your field trip forms signed, convince your parents to help drive.
  • Finish your political cartoon.
