Unit Plan Overview Travis Shaw Soviet Union Introduction: Soviet Union History/ Social Studies Grade 10 Timeframe of 2 weeks (10 days) Travis Shaw For my Unit plan I want to continue with the trend of the history of the Soviet Union. I was thinking of doing it chronologically. The chronological approach would have each day or lesson have a chunk of Soviet history, starting with essential pre-soviet era information and going up until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. This approach would also have major themes connected to each lesson such as the revolution, communist ideology, WW2, the cold war, and the collapse of the USSR. The lesson will also talk about the Soviet Union decade by decade, and explore major events, leaders, geography, and concepts necessary to understanding this history. Standards: North Dakota: 9–12.2.18 Explain events in the development of the Cold War (e.g., Berlin Blockade; nuclear arms and space race; Cuban Missile Crisis; political and economic transformation of Western and Eastern Europe; Korean Conflict, Vietnam Conflict; collapse of Warsaw Pact Nations) 9–12.2.16 Analyze the global causes, course, and consequences of World War II and the post-war events (e.g., worldwide depression, totalitarian and militaristic regimes, Holocaust, political and social change in the Middle East, development of the United Nations, Cold War) 9–12.1.1 Interpret and evaluate a variety of visual representations (e.g. charts, graphs, time lines, graphic organizers, maps, flow charts) of data Common Core: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.9-10.3 Analyze in detail a series of events described in a text; determine whether earlier events caused later ones or simply preceded them. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.9-10.2 Determine the central ideas or information of a primary or secondary source; provide an accurate summary of how key events or ideas develop over the course of the text. Objectives: Students will be able to understand the geography, ideology, and history of the Soviet Union. Students will be able to interpret and understand how events and ideas from the Soviet Union helped to shape the modern world through events such as WW2, the Cold war, and others. Activates: Map activity Reading activity’s for assigned text Group presentation: small groups of students will each pick a soviet era figure and present on their figure.
