Eisenhower and a crowd

For this group project, students will carefully read the texts of two of Eisenhower’s speeches and use them along with supporting sources to work in a group as museum curators. They will write captions for an exhibit that illustrates Eisenhower’s attitude toward foreign policy by selecting relevant quotations from the speeches and writing a few lines that describe the significance of the quotations.
