Can students change the course of history? Enliven your teaching of the Cold War with a newly published case-based simulation in which students play the role of intelligence analysts at the CIA in 1962. By examining declassified intelligence documents and U-2 photographs at various stages of the Cuban Missile Crisis, students “live” the crisis rather than only read about it. In this social studies standards-based lesson, students are challenged to make decisions and recommendations based on primary documents and photos. The outcome of the crisis is in their hands: will their analysis provide President Kennedy with the information he needs to avoid nuclear catastrophe?

Technical Data: A 125-page lesson containing over 25 primary documents and photos, student worksheets and teacher introduction scripts, a CD with U-2 photographs in their pre-CIA analyzed condition, a DVD with exclusive CIA footage, an appendix with a timeline, map, chart, and articles, a comprehensive bibliography, a glossary of terms.

Please Note: The CD must be played on a DVD player.
