Description
This unit on The Cold War contains over 160 pages and 48 google slides of material specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism.
This unit addresses the main characteristics and reasons for the Cold War and its effects on World History in a simplified but rigorous way for students with diverse learning needs to make meaningful and authentic connections to the material.
There are many opportunities for students to engage in repeated information on learning about this time in history when the world was poised for World War 3.
The Cold War covers the period from 1947-1981 including the Cuban Missle Crisis, the Arms Race, and the Space Race.
This repetition encourages a true understanding of this important time in history.
Finally, many of the world history activities and assessments include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation, and options for presentation.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated in these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities get to experience material over several days to be able to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students be able to pay more attention to the content you are presenting rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, asking students good questions will push them to think more deeply than before.
♥As always please take a moment to leave feedback or post any questions you may have. Remember, you will gain credit toward future purchases on tpt as you leave more and more feedback!!
♥I am currently developing more units, and any feedback I get helps me make improvements in the future.
