History: Cold War Biography Posters


Cold War Biography Poster


In this activity you will do some research about key figures of the Cold War, then choose one to create a poster about.

Using your book or Internet resources, list at the date of birth and least one major accomplishment of each of the following people:

US History:

John F. Kennedy

Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin

Joseph McCarthy

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Jonas Salk

Earl Warren

World History:

Nikita Krushchev

Ho Chi Minh

Fidel Castro

Yuri Gagarin

Golda Meir

Lech Walesa

Using one of these people or another from this list, do further research to create a biographical poster.

The finished poster should be on 9 x 12 inch paper or made on the website glogster.com, and include the following:

* a 1-inch margin of empty space around the edge of the poster

* A prominent image of the person's face, either hand-drawn or printed and "treated" by hand coloring or texturing

* The person's name and dates born / died

* At least three important or interesting facts about this person (look here for ideas)

* One quote by this person (look here for ideas, or here)


We will be presenting these posters in class on Wednesday!
