Introduction to Unit
Hello fellow U.S. History teachers. This unit, that I have created, talks about the turbulent times of the 1970s both domestically and abroad. From gas shortages, to Cold War tensions, to high inflation, and to a miracle of epic proportions, this decade was a turning point in the history of the United States. This unit will cover multiple perspectives, from domestic life, to life in the middle east and in Soviet Russia, along with different age generations. It will also utilize multiple primary and secondary sources, as we take a look at the events that shaped the decade. The unit is for 11th grade U.S. History students and is a week long with five different lessons for six, 50 minute class periods. Thank you for visiting and I hope this site can be a help to your lesson planning!
