Cold War Lesson Plan This lesson plan is to set up a visual and interactive display in the classroom that the teacher can refer to often throughout the lesson and with corresponding lesson plans.

– Demonstrate the Domino Theory and how it pertained to containing communism by constructing dominos out of cereal boxes. Make sure the dominos are labeled with the following terms: China, Vietnam, Korea, and Southeast Asian Countries. – Physically demonstrate how America feared, after China “fell to Communism”, that the rest of Southeast Asia would fall to Communism like dominos topping over one by one. Leave this display up in the classroom to refer to from time to time on the Communist side of the classroom.

Construct two twin towers: one for democracy and one for communism. On the democracy tower, have strips of paper coming off the tower with the terms South Korea, South Vietnam, West Berlin, United States, Western Europe, NATO. On the communism tower, have strips of paper coming off the tower with the terms North Korea, North Vietnam, East Berlin, Soviet Union, Easter Europe, Warsaw Pact.

The line of separation: Tape a line across the floor dividing the classroom into two parts. Split the students and place them on both sides of the tape. Lead a discussion asking the students what this separation reminds them of. Their answers will vary. Make connections to football or something that they will understand in which a dividing line is created (like drawing a line in the car and telling a sibling not to cross it). In football two teams are trying to cross this line. One to get towards their goal and the other to try and stop them. Connect this to the creating of the Berlin Wall and the separation of Berlin, but remind the students that no force was used in the dividing of Berlin. It was not until the Korean War that the first armed conflict of the Cold War took place. Now connect the line in the classroom to the 38th parallel, the line that separated North and South Korea after WWII and was crossed by the North Koreans in the 50’s causing UN involvement.

Over top of the line dividing the classroom, place stand up placards with the terms: Berlin Wall, Iron Curtain, 17 th parallel, 38 th parallel.

To review what the students have learned about the Cold War, a giant game board was drawn using washable markers on the class floor. Large game pieces and dice were also used to play this game. Review questions were drawn on the floor as well on random squares as extra challenges throughout the game to simulate other popular board games. A review PowerPoint was then used to review SOL material.
