This lesson serves a great introductory course lesson to a high school History class that covers the Cold War between the US and Soviet superpowers. Obviously, this is a short version that’s more packed with comedy than information, but it serves as a great format in order to teach the events of the space race from both the Soviet and American sides. Take the trip from both perspectives and see if you can lead your country to victory – good luck!

These two Google Forms were created by Nicolas and I for our 10th grade World History classes at Mountain View High School. For my class, these are the second and third lessons about the plague – this week the students got an introduction and next week on Monday and Tuesday they will be working with these two forms during their “on-demand” learning.

The target student group for this would probably be a U.S. History or Pop Culture class. I had several lessons on this content my senior year of high school in an elective class called 20th Century Pop Culture. Both these quizzes are essentially humorous pre-assessment’s or a very informal entrance or exit ticket.
