In humanities, we got into groups and the assignment that we had was to figure out what the immediate threat to the U.S was and come up with a plan to propose to President Kennedy to stop the threat. Cuba got a new leader and started relations with the Soviets and the Soviets gave some of the Russian nuclear missiles to cuba. A secret spy plane flew over Cuba and saw these missiles and immediately sent pictures to the president. As the Excomm, we need to find a solution to this problem and execute any problems that do more harm than good. Global Awareness, Communication, Civic Literacy and Engagement & Problem Solving. We had limited facts and information about the threat to the U.S, why Cuba had the russian missiles and what they were trying to do with those missiles. As a group we had to discuss and talk about all the information on paper but also try to incorporate what we already know about history into this assignment as well.
I'm proud of this assignment because even though we came up with all different scenarios, after a little more information we were able to get it just like that. We worked great together and were able to get this done. We could definitely improve on our essay task with better grammar and punctuation. But overall I enjoyed this assignment and it was good to look at history that has happened in the past or is even currently happening.
