Welcome to the homepage for Mr. Reed's History class! This will be your hub for all things U.S. History on the web this year.
Current World Leaders Keynote: Choose at least 5 world leaders from the list below and create a keynote about who they are, what country they are from, and how they lead (1-2 slides per leader). If you can not find information on their leadership styles, then find a current event article about them and include that information.
Barack Obama, Paul Lepage, Vladamir Putin, Ban Ki Moon, Hu Jintao, Bashar Al-Assad, Hamid Karzai, Benjamin Netanyahu, Angela Merkel, David Cameron
Cuban Missile Crisis Simulation
Khruschev's Impact on the Cold War
Cold War Collapse Write-up: Write a short paper (2-3 paragraphs) and explain how the Soviet Union collapsed. Also include how Ronald Reagan's leadership affected the collapse. You may also want to talk about how the video narrated by Ronald Reagan tells a different story from the other videos & Ducksters page. You will need to watch the videos below and may wish to do additional research.
World War 2 Leaders Assignment:
In your table groups, you are going to create a Google Presentation about one of the world leaders from World War Two (Roosevelt, Stalin, Churchill, and Hitler). The focus should be on how they lead their country, how they changed the world, and how they affected other people (their impact). The focus should not be on things like their personal life, childhood, or when they were born/died. You will be showing these to the class.
