Comparing / contrasting the impact on two states: the USA / the DDR
In the earlier exercise students worked collaboratively to determine the impact of the Cold War upon the DDR. As a revision exercise, they will now compare and contrast this experience with that of the United States by reviewing their work on the McCarthyite Red Scare.

“Using the topic sentences in the first row to help you, produce your own topic sentences for the remaining orange rows of the table. Use your existing knowledge from your studies of the DDR / the USA to add ‘additional notes’ in the other remaining cells.
