Today in class we'll learn some context about President Kennedy and his election by watching from about 3:00-9:30 of The Century: Poisoned Dreams. Then we'll discuss his First Inaugural that you read for homework, focusing on its most famous line.
We'll then get into the essential question for the day about how successful President Kennedy was as a cold warrior.
With a partner, you'll use this chart to arrive at answers to that question: Kennedy Foreign Policy Chart.
First you'll continue your analysis of the First Inaugural. Then you'll divide the other speeches and share your responses to them while you fill in the first chart.
You'll then use your notes from last night's Foner reading as well as the links on the chart to analyze Kennedy's responses to the key Cold War events during his presidency.
