Introduction
Between 1947 and 1991 there was a "war" between the two superpowers of the world Russia and America. Whilst there was very little actual conflict, there were many threats of nuclear war that shook the world as nuclear weapons were little understood. The war was fought through espionage, propaganda, psychological warfare and competitions such as the space race.
Task
First, you must draw a map of the main countries involved in the Cold War; the second task will be to write a letter from the perspective of the American public about the fear around this time.
Process
1. Draw a map and colour in the main countries who were a part of the Cold War. Make sure they are different colours to determine which side they were on.
This website provides a list of all involved countries: https://www.nationalcoldwarexhibition.org/the-cold-war/countries/
2. Write a journal entry or a letter from the perspective of a member of the American public. Think about the fear around this time especially about espionage and nuclear warfare.

Evaluation
To summarise what you have learnt about the Cold War, create a meme and post it to the AC social stream. It can be about any part off the Cold War but must be related.
