Cold War Extra Credit Project


This will be a lot more open ended and simpler that the project that was canceled due to the weather.

Conduct an interview with a relative or family friend and have that interview with me no later than noon on January 29th.

The interview should be with someone who lived through these events and has specific knowledge. Maybe someone who served in the military, or a relative who lived in a foreign country. Anyone with a unique experience during the cold war would make an exceptional interview subject.

Just follow the rubric to get an idea of my expectations. You can change the number of factual and in depth questions to 7 each.

Factual Question: A specific questions about key people, places and events during the cold war.
An example: Did you agree with Kennedy's handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis? or Did you agree or disagree with Sen. Joseph McCarthy?

In-Depth Question: These are more in depth, open ended questions about the Cold War. An example of an In-Depth Question can be found on your syllabus: Did the Cold War have a positive or negative effect on American Society? or What lessons can we learn from the Cold War?
