Instruction
As we conclude our analysis of the Cold War and Consensus Decade of the 1950s, this week’s discussion topic is for each student to write about one of the shaded sections in the textbook called Unfinished Nation, “Debating the Past,” “America in the World,” “Consider the Source,” or “Patterns of Popular Culture.” Please choose one section from either chapter 27 or 28 and post one short, original, thoughtful, well-written summary essay of about 10-20 sentences, including the title of the section and page number. This posting should include the main idea of the passage, the significant points the author is making, several descriptive sentences, etc. In addition, the posting should address why this topic is important to an understanding of that time period in American history.
