I found a new resource today on the Cuban Missile Crisis that I really like. It is a free packet of four worksheets covering different aspects of the situation. The assignment at the end of each worksheet is to write an essay. If you don’t want your students to write an essay, you can easily modify this assignment into a group or class discussion. I really like these worksheets because it breaks down the Cuban Missile Crisis into various steps and decisions and helps students evaluate the “what-ifs” of the situation. The packet also downloads as a Word document, which would make it very easy edit to suit your classroom needs. This packet is part of a larger grouping of resources found here.
