Cuba and The Bay of Pigs. Cold War and assassination plots on Castro.

Here is a lesson as part of a study for Year 9 of key events from the Cold War.
For average and more able there is a reading comprehension task, for weaker groups a storyboard. The reading is a combination of History.com and a BBC article.
I have also attached at the end of the Powerpoint a slide of information I found in another users lesson which might be useful for the weaker ones too.
At the end we look at plots to kill Castro as part of Operation Mongoose. For a longer lesson you could have some fun planning your own attempts.

A few slides and bits are taken from other peoples resources, thank you for your contributions.
