Lesson Plan: Hexagonal Thinking – Latin America and the Cold War
Grades 8-12
The Cold War was an ideological – and sometimes military – struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union. In general, the Soviet Union supported the expansion of communist governments around the globe and the United States supported anticommunist regimes, including both democracies and dictatorships. This lesson challenges students to connect terms, ideas and images as a means for presenting Cold War tensions in Latin America visually. The activity is designed for students to complete in small groups.
