This is your assignment for this week. Read the directions carefully. For your explanations, they should be 2-3 sentences for EACH character. You will not need to do the group activity portion of the assignment. You may write your explanations by hand or type them up. Please email this to me by Saturday at 11:59 p.m. Also, you will need Friday's PPT and/or lecture for next week's assignment so do not ignore it.

Thursday
If you have Netflix, watch The Twilight Zone (1963), season 3, episode 3, "The Shelter." The episode depicts how life would be and how people would react when the threat of a nuclear attack is near.
Friday
|
Please look at the JFK Foreign Policy Powerpoint and/or lecture. After slide 7, be sure to watch the Be Castro, Be Kennedy and Be Khrushchev videos, in that order. Those videos give you an idea as to the mindset of what the leaders of Cuba, the United States and the Soviet Union were thinking up until the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Berlin Wall Photos
Part of the Berlin Wall. Germany left some of it up to be decorated by artitsts.

Part of the Berlin Wall. This image became iconic during the Cold War. It is of the Soviet Leader, Leonid Brezhnev (left) and East German leader, Erich Honecker (right). The Kiss happened in 1979.
|
Although the Berlin Wall is no longer in tact, throughout Berlin, there is brick laid out to commemorate where the Berlin Wall once stood, so that way it'll never happen again. This is me standing between East Berlin and West Berlin. I know, I'm super cool :)
|
This is part of the original Berlin Wall that is still standing.
|
Part of the original Berlin Wall. To the left, you can see the guard tower (the wall was watched 24 hours a day). In the center was essentially like no man's land in the trenches: very dangerous to cross and likely ended in death.
|
Some of the faces of people who died trying to cross the Berlin Wall.
|
The iconic Brandenburg Gate. When people passed the gate, it was the official way to determine one had entered Berlin, Germany. Became a symbol of Nazi power as well as where Ronald Regan gave his infamous speech telling the Soviets to tear down this wall (the Berlin Wall). The building in the back with the green roof is a famous hotel in which one of the rooms costs $28,000 a night just to stay there.
|
Checkpoint Charlie. One of the few points where people could cross from East to West Berlin and vice versa. Had to have a official paperwork, almost like a Passport, to be able to do so.
