Cold War L9 - Arms Race & De-Stalinisation
This lesson contains:
- A starter gap fill which recaps prior knowledge from the course.
- An introduction to the arms race using a source image to elicit responses.
- An embedded video of my own making which summarises the arms race and the creation of different weapons from the A bombs, H bombs and ICBMs.
- A consolidation activity using the information provided to complete extension questions and a timeline activity for the arms race.
- A discussion of MAD and what it means using a source to elicit the information then go over it using the on-board info.
- A task to read the guided reading on the new leaders in 1953 (Eisenhower and Khrushchev) and what impact they had on relations at the time.
- A plenary set of questions in a fun 'tell your advisors' format, and a plenary to watch a bit of 'Duck and Cover' and discuss it.
