GCSE 9-1 Edexcel Cold War: L20 'Was the period of detente a success?'

A comprehensive lesson on the period of detente. This lesson covers all of the agreements (SALT 1, Helsinki Accords and SALT 2). Students begin by creating a fact file which gives them an overview of the key treaties. The main activity is an active and engaging student-led activity where they meet a range of Cold War spectators who give their opinion on the agreements. Students move around the room and listen to the different points of view whilst completing a matrix (differentiated and directed). This is followed up by a series of questions before an exam style question is introduced. Structure strips and tips included. As always clear step by step instructions are included along with high quality resources. These lessons take many hours to plan and resource so feedback and reviews are greatly appreciated.
