1. Teacher Page Objective: The students will analyze the human and geographic factors that influences the power to control territory and resources; and impact the political relations of sovereign nations. Suggestions / Ideas: It appears that the COLD WAR will be a potential topic on the EOC assessment. This makes no sense since students have never discussed this topic in school. None the less, it appears to be part of the question bank for this year. Therefore, it should be addressed. The focus should be on geography as it relates to the cold war. You might expect maps or quotes on the various topics from the war. Therefore the themes are more important than the details. Several video links have been supplied in this lesson that might be helpful in a short summary. The more time you can devote to this topic the better, but clearly you will not have time to do it justice. So a quick summary is more realistic. Many online videos are made by students, that may or may not be helpful. A few United Streaming and Safari links have also been provided that you may rather use. Please preview any video and decide which would serve your goals the best. A video worksheet template has been provided to help students organize their thoughts and guide them toward this specific objective. REMEMBER: There are several resources on specific topics of the cold war as well as overall resources available on the 11 th grade / Unit 4 of the curriculum planner. You are free to download any of those activities and use all or part of them if you feel they would help.
