Butter Battle Book


Introduction to the Cold War


Before Class/Homework:  Read the overview on the Cold War from RegentsPrep.org and fill out the graphic organizer.

In class, we will watch the movie "The Butter Battle" based on the book by Dr. Seuss. You may also choose to read an e-text of the book.

Although most of us think of Dr. Seuss as the author of whimsical children's books, many of his novels actually contained poignant social commentary. 



While you watch/read, jot down notes and answer the discussion questions provided. We will discuss the Yooks and Zooks and how they connect to the Cold War at the end of class.
