Today we performed a roll play activity where we worked in a small group as either Cuba, the Soviet Union, and the United States. Through the activity we were given information about the Cuban Missile Crisis from the perspective of whichever country we were pretending to be. We then mixed our groups and worked with the other two countries to try and negotiate a peaceful conclusion to the crisis.
After the roll play, we discussed as a class what we each lost through the crisis as well as what was motivating our actions.
We worked with the this slide presentation and went through slide 21. This activity cannot be done individually and students who missed class will need to see Mr. Williams to get an alternative.
Students who did not complete a quarter 3 project will need to come and see Mr. Williams during non-instructional time. He will provide those who come and see him to an option to do the project. It will be slightly different than the original project so do NOT work on it without first speaking to Mr. Williams.
