What Makes a War Cold?

To Start
Examine this Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoon, published in November 1945 and entitled "Bridge the Gulch." 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:

• We're discussing why it's called the "Cold War." We're also discussing which countries got involved in the Cold War and how, using this map. Make sure you can explain:
  • Hot and Cold Wars
  • The First, Second and Third World
  • Proxy Wars
  • Non-Alignment​

​

• Then, we're getting into our interview groups. Before the end of class:
  • Decide who will take on each role (communicator, logistics, technology, documentation).
  • Think of any local veterans you know who might be willing to help, and email Ally about it.
  • Develop a conversation script for your first contact with the veteran, including:
    • Who you are and where you are from.
    • What we are doing.
    • What you would like from them.
    • When you would be available.
    • Where the interview could be conducted.

We'll use any remaining time today and tomorrow to work on our timelines.
​
For Homework:
Finish up your timeline, so that you'll have it available to study for our end-of-project exam.
