Students will interpret primary and secondary sources to determine how the race to space from 1957-1969 reflected political, social and economic aspects of the Cold War.
Students will:
- Analyze primary and secondary source documents to be used as supporting evidence.
- Incorporate outside information (information learned in the course of study) as additional support.
- Write a well-developed argument that answers the document-based essay question regarding the analogy between the race to space and the Cold War.
