Description
Watergate, Vietnam War, Paris Peace Accords, pardons, Fall of Saigon, an energy crisis and gas shortages, the Iran Hostage Crisis – so many things happened during the 1970s decade! Looking for some help in covering the presidencies of Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter? This ready to go slide deck (available as both a PowerPoint and Google Slides) starts with the Election of 1968 and Nixon’s two terms and ends with Carter’s presidency and the Election of 1980. The 194 slides cover the domestic and foreign policies and events during the presidencies of Nixon, Ford, and Carter including key events like Watergate and the conclusion of the Vietnam War.
Not only does this download include the slide deck, but it also includes 20 pages of fill in the blank guided notes to keep your students engaged and on task!
It’s also flexible! The text in the slide deck is editable AND an editable PowerPoint version of the fill in the blank guided notes (without the fancy fonts and clip art) is included! You can add something specific to the slide deck and notes that your state standards include or delete something that your curriculum doesn’t cover. You can also add more blanks to the guided notes or take some away.
As if that wasn’t enough! The download includes both print and digital guided notes (Google Slides and fillable PDF options) to give you even more classroom flexibility.
Its flexible design is purposefully created to make your life easier!
