Cold War History Through Primary Sources

As with all webquests, it is imperative that student's create a product that demonstrate their content mastery.  I have included the quiz section on this webquest to act as a formative assessment.  How you use this assessment is at your discretion but I allowed my students to correct their mistakes a way of further developing their knowledge for areas in which they were not proficient. 

There are a couple of things you need to consider if you are to use/adapt this webquest:

1) For starters, please give credit where credit is due.  I have no problem with you adapting this but please don't go claiming it as your own.
2) While I have endeavored to provide sources which can be analyzed by those with a near grade level reading ability, there are some which are more complicated than others.  For each document I have sought to provide vocabulary in the resources section which can assist in this analysis but low(er) level readers may still have trouble.  With time I hope to create paraphrased versions of these documents and post them in the resources section on the teacher page.  Regardless, if you want your students to be successful, be sure to differentiate as necessary.
