The Cold War: 'How dangerous was the Cuban Missile Crisis?'

Students learn about the one of the key flash points from the Cold War. There are a range of activities, such as a fact file task, plotting the '13 days' on a crisis graph and the main task is a newspaper article (success criteria, literacy support and differentiated). To end they need to determine who was the victor in the crisis by writing a tweet setting out either the USA or Soviet's view on the outcome of the crisis.
