Website Spotlight: Nixon's China Game
Website URL: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/china/
The parts of this website which I find particularly useful are the following:
I. The Film & More
Interview Transcripts with program participants. Note the interview with the Foreign Secretary of Pakistan.
II. Special Features
Worthwhile is the interview with Henry Kissinger as well as the brief sketch of the visit.
III. Timeline
Wow! What a richly-developed detailed timeline of U.S.-China relations.
IV. Maps
Excellent interactive map.
V. People & Events
Chou En-Lai's sketch is intriguing.
Your students will enjoy the material about "ping- pong diplomacy."
VI. Teacher's Guide
Make your choice from several wonderful suggestions.
On my Learning Professor wiki, this website fits within the following U.S. History survey course module:
