Shownotes Transcript

This English lesson will be a bit different with a focus on explaining a video my students watched called, The Cold War: Oversimplified. It is a great video split into two parts, but some of my students were confused about three parts: The Cuban Missile Crisis, the Domino Effect, and MAD- Mutually Assured Destruction.   This video might not be for everyone, but I know there are a few who like learning about American history in slow English. I hope you enjoy.
