Video Questions: The Butter Battle Book by Dr Seuss
They did not like each other because they had different views. The Yooks butter their bread up. The Zooks butter their bread upside down. They think that the other side is evil When each side were improving their weapons and tried to attack each other and outdo each other with their weapons. This can happen with friends or family when the conflicts is never resolved. It could be one small detail that bothers you and then it can keep on growing and getting worse if you do not try to make the situation better. They could have prevent this conflict if they talked, stopped building and improving their weapons. They also, could have left each other alone. With the controversy that happened caused the tension to grow and eventually have the weapons increase to a nuclear bomb. In both sides they used name calling and talked about how horrible the other side was. If the reader/watcher noticed both sides were almost calling them the same thing. This story tells you how there was no actual physical fighting. Each side tried to outdo each other and create the best weapons by improving them. The story also tells you that each side thought that their views were right and were not willing to look at the other side. My ending would include the little boy telling the grown ups that what they are doing is not right. That they are creating a bad example for him and other children. That if the #|kids learn from them and #|continue their ways both sides will destroy each other. The adults will realize that the little boy is saying is true and both sides end up leaving each other alone. I would want this to be the ending because it is happy and both sides learn from their actions.

**LINKING ACTIVITY:**
The two opposing ideologies capitalism, which the United States believed in, and communism, which the Soviet Union believed in, clashed and led to the Cold War. The Korean War and the Vietnam War served as proxy wars in the the Cold War. The United States was involved in NATO, while the Soviet Union was involved in the Warsaw Pact which was another way to separate the two. The Berlin Airlift was when Josef Stalin who controlled "East" Berlin blocked off all #|routes to "West" Berlin and the Allies had to send in aid. Both the Containment Theory and the Domino Policy are both focused on putting a stop to communism and keeping it from spreading as the #|idea is countries will fall to communism like dominoes. The Arms Race and Space Race were both competitions that the U.S. and U.S.S.R. tried to outdo each other in. During the Cold War, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan were all presidents of the United States and contributed to the Cold War. Both the Marshall Plan and Truman Doctrine were both created to aid countries. On March 5, 1946 Winston Churchill made the famous post war speech the "Iron Curtain" When the scary event of the Cuban Missile Crisis happened it led up to the event and shift to detente, which was a policy of mutual acceptance. Before the Cuban Missile Crisis there was a meeting between Nikita Khrushchev and Fidel Castro were an agreement was created to construct several missile sites. Germany was split into East Germany and West Germany where each side was either under capitalist or communist government. Both committees Politburo and United Nations General Assembly had to make important decisions during the cold war. Mikhail Gorbachev was a soviets statesman who brought an end to the Cold War.

 * Guide Sheet for Overview of Korean War Movie Clip: **


 * Opener: Based on Korean War Video: **


 * **Do you Believe the Korean War was a Civil War or a Proxy War ( war that results when opposing powers use third parties as substitutes for fighting each other directly.)?**

- I think that when the war first started it started off as a civil war against North Korea and South Korea. Even thought I feel like there was supposed to be a Civil War, but as the war went on I think it turned into a proxy war because it became a war between the communist and the nationalists. War When the Soviets and United States got involved into the Korean war that is when it became a proxy war. Soviets were on the Norths side and the United States was on the South side
 * **Provide three pieces of evidence from the video to support your claim**

Three pieces of evidence that can be used for my claim includes that: A Civil War led up to China becoming communists and then nationalists were led by Chang.America and other forces joined. The Soviets started to help the North. Jong set up up dictatorship in the North while Rhee was anti-communists in the South. Both sides of the Soviet and US controlled the fight which was face to face and each side had nuclear weapons. America spent more money and had more men fighting. **Picture Detective: Political Cartoon**
 * **Pair/share responses and make revisions in red**

Who are the little trolls and who is the little creature in the crater with a question mark? What do they represent? Why is the sun angry? What is he questioning and why are the creatures looking at the clues. - The Earth has a big spot where Korea is - The sun is not happy - There are little trolls looking at the Earth - “its getting’ redder ‘n’ redder” - They are on a crater - There is another little creature in the hole in the crater - Has a question mark - In space -Korea is pointed out in the Earth.
 * 1) **Pose A question**
 * 1) **Gather clues (what do you see/)**

I think that the war was big and advancing that it could be seen from space. When the creatures are looking at it it seems from their point of view that communism is winning. Also saying that it is getting redder and redder it might have something to do with the face to face combat and how each side had nuclear weapons. It could include all the blood shed that was going on through out the war. Korea became a symbol of war. Outsiders would look at the war and see how it was getting hotter and hotter. Truman could be the guy in the hole because he is so confused during the war and doesn't know what to do?

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zg-8VbcVQmZ4H4dWyb7bOR7pgFMsqb-q5s05CCpM6Rc/edit


 * PUBLIC OPINION POLL: **

I choose this for the top choice because have of Americans said that it was not worth it getting involved, but yet we did. We ended up not making much of a difference except during the war we lost a lot of money and men. If i was able to take part in this poll i could agree with the 50% who said it was not worth it. It would not be worth the time, men or debt to get involved with Korea.
 * I think that the most important points gained from the poll was that 50% of Americans said that it was not worth it to get involved in the fighting of Korea.
 * The second most important is that 69% of Americans agreed to <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">sign an armistice to end the fighting.
 * The least important was that 47% said there was not much of a risk to get in to a long drawn out with China.
