Cold War Crisis Presentations are this week! Each day will have 3 presentations, with 1 on Friday due to the shorter period. While others are presenting, complete the note guide so that you have the key takeaways incorporated into your notes.

Completing the note guide is important as your Paper 2 question may very well ask you about at least 2 crises from 2 different geographical regions. Obviously you should know your own topic very well, but you will need to thoroughly understand an event from a different region as well.

TOPICS NOT PRESENTED WILL BECOME REQUIRED READING WITH A READING QUIZ.
