<p><strong>The Cold War</strong></p> <p>The aim of this lesson is to explore the winds of change within the USSR as Perestroika and Glasnost are introduced with the appointment of Gorbachev as General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.</p> <p>But despite all the achievements he made, was it all in vain and just how successful was he with the Soviet Union in his short six years in office?</p> <p>Students are required to emoji rate the problems facing Gorbachev in 1985 and then justify the most serious one using a pressure gauge.</p> <p>Furthermore they have to evaluate how successful his policies were and how they were received in the west as compared to back home.</p> <p>A thinking quilt at the end challenges their thinking as they have to group all they have learnt into categories and then explain the significance of each fact.</p> <p>The central enquiry of this and subsequent lessons is to ask why did civilians fear for their lives during the Cold War? Students will map out their ideas each lesson (which can be plotted in different colours or dates to show the progress of their learning and centred around the key question) and build up a picture of how these and different countries in the world responded and acted in this new nuclear age.</p> <p>The resource comes in PowerPoint formats if there is a wish to adapt and change and is differentiated.</p> <p>I have also included suggested teaching strategies to deliver the lesson.</p>

<p><strong>Cold War</strong></p> <p>The aims of this lesson are to explain what the Cold War was in post war Europe and how it developed between the two existing Superpowers in 1945.</p> <p>The USA and the USSR had different ideologies and students will learn the differences between Capitalism and Communism.</p> <p>Furthermore, despite cordial relations at the three meetings held before the end of the war at Tehran, Yalta and Potsdam, suspicions were soon aroused.</p> <p>Students will analyse the preceding decisions made about the divisions of Germany and Berlin and make informed judgements as to why these suspicions developed.</p> <p>The central enquiry of this and subsequent lessons is to ask why did civilians fear for their lives? Students will map out their ideas each lesson (which can be plotted in different colours or dates to show the progress of their learning and centred around a lightbulb) and build up a picture of how these and different countries in the world responded and acted in this new nuclear age.</p> <p>The resource comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change and is differentiated.</p> <p>I have also included suggested teaching strategies to deliver the lesson.</p>

The notes cover the major schools of thought with regards to the Origins of the Cold War, as well as the events themselves. These notes can serve as a reference point for both students and teachers alike for a range of examination boards.
