Cold War: Europe Event ProjectYou will be assigned a European Cold War Event or person and create an informational one-slide

PowerPoint presentation. I will select the best ones and compile them into a handout for all students to put in their notebook and use as a resource.

FORMATHere is the format with the layout and the font you must use.

The image and the summary can be switched as it is in the sample below. You can let the summary take up to 75% of the slide, but never less than 50%.

Your summary has to be brief and to the point!

SAMPLEYou must include (1) the name of the event as a title

(2) a description of the event

(3) the year in which it occurred

and if possible

(4) it’s significance

Save using this format: 1POakleySputnikPeriod + name + one word describing topic

Tips: - Think “What is the least I need to know, but still know what happened” - Avoid details - Avoid using terms your classmates won’t know- Have someone proofread your summary for clarity and efficacy before turning it in
