Classwork 5/16

Instead of the official textbook, we are going to refer to this chapter as our 'text' for right now.  

19th Century Reforms

In class today, read the section about the 'spirit of reform',  prison, education, and equal rights.  This idea of reforms/change will be a theme we talk about for the rest of the year! 

**note - with this topic, we are backtracking a bit (pre-Civil War) so you might read about slavery**

Classwork 5/16

1)  In class, read this article about the role of superpowers in the Cold War LINK HERE

2)  Once you have read the article, use the reading to answer the following questions on your blog:

• Who are the two superpowers the author talks about?  Why are they afraid of each other? 
• What 'third world' countries does the author mean? 
• How did the Cold War end, according to the author?
