Unit Plan Title: The Cold War

Brief summary: Students will look at the Cold War in relationship to the conclusion of WWII and the 21st century. Each student group will explore the effect of the Cold War on science, information, the sports arena, and politics and create a PowerPoint presentation. The presentation will be used to help students teach the rest of the class about their area. Students will also connect what they learn about the Cold War to events of the 1980’s, 1990’s, and current events.
