This workshop includes historical context, digitized primary sources, and follow-up discussion questions. Students are asked to make arguments for and against providing funding to programs and projects proposed to the Commonwealth Fund, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Ford Foundation. Taking on the role of program officers during the Cold War and working in small groups, students will read primary sources and articulate why a foundation should or should not provide funding to these proposed ideas. As a whole group, the studentswill participate in a debate as to which of the proposed ideas would be the most effective tool for furthering American Cold War interests. Students are encouraged to use this workshop as a springboard for further research into the role foundations played during the Cold War.

Created by NHPRC Teacher Participant/Creator Rachel Wylie for Global History. Adaptable to other grades. History is the study of the past based on available evidence at the time. In this project, you will create a time capsule full of evidence to allow your descendants to better understand who you are, your immigration story, and what life was like in 2018. This opportunity allows you to use evidence to enable future generations of your family to reconstruct your personal past. Each student’s time capsule will undergo peer-analysis of the primary evidence provided in the capsule.

I will be using this illustration to gather my students in whole & small grooup discussions relating to becoming more of a "participatory citizen" in the U.S. society. While using the PSA, I am attempting to develop critical thinking skills and get my students to reflect on moments when they were asked "well, what are you going to do about it" and "emancipation" and develop their own questions. I also believe that the both the photo and psa can how stimulate Problem-based learning: getting my students to think about how they can active citizens rather than passive citizen. Finally, to get my students to think about becoming inventors.
