Cubans have very different opinions about their country and its history, particularly about the Cuban Revolution that began in 1959. In this unit, students explore Cuba’s history, the Cuban Revolution, and consider the country’s future.
Teaching about Latin America during the Cold War: Focus on Cuba
Join the Choices Program and RetroReport for an engaging webinar. We’ll examine the Choices Program’s History, Revolution, and Reform: New Directions for Cuba curriculum unit, which provides historical content on Cuba from Spanish colonialism through today. We’ll take a close look at one lesson, “Operation Carlota,” which asks students to act as historians as they examine sources on Cuba’s involvement in Angola during the Cold War. RetroReport will also share its resources on the Cold War in Latin America.
Presenters: Mimi Stephens and David Olson
