We are now onto our last case study of U.S. involvement in Latin America during the Cold War, Nicaragua.
We will only spend two class periods reviewing the major players of the Nicaraguan Revolution: Augusto Sandino, Daniel Ortega and the Sandinista movement, The Contras (counter-revolutionaries), and the U.S. Government. After learning about the revolution broadly, students analyzed the rhetoric from each perspective deeply in order to complete Character Retrieval Charts and write two-voice poems.
