Reproducible curriculum unit
Connect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
Viewing the Cold War not as inevitable, but as one possible response to the conflicting perceptions and uncertainties of the time, this reproducible unit helps students grasp the shaping of U.S. policy toward the Soviet Union.
Background readings use speeches, newspaper articles and editorials, and political cartoons from the mid-1940s. A lesson plan with day-to-day activities acquaints students with the security concerns of the United States, Soviet Union, Britain, and France in 1946, investigates four policy options for U.S. relations with the Soviet Union, and deciphers the goals and underlying values of the Truman Doctrine.
Quantities are limited.
