Background Acquisition
In our we discussed the Russian Revolution. Who ultimately became leader of the newly organized USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics)? Was the U.S. able to get along with Joseph Stalin? Also, would you ask for his help if a larger tyrant threatened the world? How would you feel if you were president of the U.S.?
Anticipatory Activity
As a class we will look at a primary document: The Atlantic Charter, as written by UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill and American President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Students will receive a Document Analysis Worksheet so that they can identify and analyze the importance of the document. The purpose of this anticipatory activity is so that students can get an idea on how to read and analyze a primary source document. Who wrote the document? What is its intended purpose? Who is the audience? When was is written? Etc.
