1950’s and Cold War Vocabulary
 Dates next to each section are assigned section reading dates. You are
responsible for completing notes over these sections on the assigned nights. It
is a good idea to complete the vocabulary for that section at the same time. You
could potentially see quizzes over the reading/ vocabulary any time after the
assigned reading.
 All vocabulary should be completed as you go through the reading. Make sure
you use the assigned format and that all terms are numbered. Vocabulary
should include all the important facts (who, what, where, when, how, and
significance). The basic book definition may not always be enough information.
