John F. Kennedy




1.  Watch "The Cold War," and copy at least five lasting effects of the Cold War.

2.  Watch "The Kennedy-Nixon Debate," and explain why most political analysts agree that Kennedy beat Nixon in televised debate and ultimately won the Presidency.

3.  Watch "The Cuban Missile Crisis."  Do you think Kennedy did the right thing?  Why or why not?

4.  Watch "Jackie Kennedy: Queen of Camelot," and explain how Jackie Kennedy was unique as a First Lady.  Then, explain what you think the First Lady's role should be and if Jackie fit into that role.

5.  Watch “JFK: A New Generation.”  What made Kennedy so appealing to people?  Give examples.

6.  Research the Peace Corps, a program started by Kennedy.  Would you ever consider joining the Peace Corps?  Why or why not?
