Cold War Outline

I had the opportunity to visit Cleveland this weekend and got enough peace and quiet in my hotel room to really work on my outline. I went to the National Archives website and found plenty of documents including a number of visual aids to enhance my power point. I teach 8th grade and while the Cold War is not a part of my curriculum I do touch as much of the 20th century as I can using visual images. I worry because there is so much my students do not know about the 20th century and they are already 14. Anyway, I got very excited about my project but I am worried I may have made the project too big. The power points are supposed to be 10 slides each. I hope that is a minimum and not a limit. My first 2 power points will exceed the ten slide recommendation while my last two should be fine. I enjoy the way we have processed through the development of this project. I can put my work away for a few days then pick it up and it is like I am fresh again. This is what I did with my outline. I did a very rough draft last week then put it away until Saturday night. When I looked at it again on Saturday I got very excited about my ideas and worked until almost one in the morning even though Sunday was an early day for me. Now I can put the project away for a few more days and pick it up fresh later in the week as I develop my final annotated bibliography which has grown by quite a few sources.
