General Project Overview
For this project each student will chose an event that happened during the Cold War (ie. Vietnam War, Korean Conflict, Sputnik, etc.) and explain the significance of this event to the Cold War. To fully explain the event chosen each student must really delve into the history and significance of the event. This means that more than just names, dates, and places that these events happened in must be provided. Rather than giving a quick historical overview each student must use their project to explain to the learners how this affected people living during the time it happened and how it affects us now, what changes have come about because of it, and why we should care that it happened.
