American History

Cooperative learning activity containing small classroom groups and ending with entire class, student-led discussion. Primary sources and maps will form basis for discussion of Korean War.

This lesson will fit into my post war unit right before we get into the Cold War. The purpose of teaching about Nuremberg is two fold, first to talk about how the World was changing in relationship to dealing with this type of crime...

Students will explore the Rwandan Genocide and the Western response to the genocide

The curriculum emphasizes cause and effect relationships to better understand history (1850-2005). The Nuremberg trials are a perfect example.

This is a cumulative lesson on the Holocaust. This lesson will be used towards the end of the Holocaust Unit. Students will have a thorough knowledge of the Holocaust. This lesson may be used before or after the lesson on the Nuremberg trials.

This lesson was designed to provide the students who learn in the visual mode a means to successfully interpret and experience the Nuremberg Trials on a unique nonstandard plane and to express their thoughts through writing.

The lesson will be a traditional lecture based lesson using primary source documents from President Truman and Joseph McCarthy. I will also incorporate a documentary movie on the HUAC trials and McCarthy. My main focus will be on the Red Scare.

Point/counterpoint on President Truman

A series of lectures, document analysis, cooperative learning and individual assignments.

After an examination and reading of letters from President Harry S. Truman to his wife, Bess, students will be able to come to a consensus as to the true feelings President Harry S. Truman had regarding specific Cold War events such as the Marshall Plan.
