Title	Cold War
Description	I would like to work on a Cold War game. I want to attack an area of my teaching which gets boring by the end of the year. I can picture a lot taking place with the Cold War unit. I'm liking the conversations going on with the history teachers. I'm willing to join them. However, I'm very open minded to anything history, government, or economics related. I teach juniors and seniors. One of the main areas of instruction I'm looking to improve is the Cold War. I bought a Cold War board game titled "Twilight Struggle" a couple of years ago that is very difficult to get the hang of immediately. I linked to it below, but something like this would be impossible to use at a high school level. If I trouble understanding the rules and so forth, I'm sure kids would be lost as well. However, there are ideas that, e.g. with regards to content, that is useful for students to learn. If anyone is interested, let me know.
