Description
Students will have an opportunity to choose from 14 major events of the Cold War. They will research the event and it's consequences during this hostile and politically charged period . Provided are instructions for their presentation, a rubric and online links to help students gather information for their project. For my 8th grade students I gave them 2 to 2.5 hours to research, create and practice their presentation. I then had students take notes on why each event was significant.
-Your students will need technology for this assignment
-I would suggest you have students do this in pairs and that you assign them topics.
-Make sure you check for understanding and preview what students said was significant.
