How the United States uses foreign policy to influence other nations.

Students will examine U.S. trade policies/agreements with other nations including: international trade, free trade, and trade barriers [e.g. WTO, EU, NAFTA, ASEAN]. They will form small groups and select 3 countries [e.g. Canada, Cuba, Iran, Syria, China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Russia], and 3 government systems [autocracy, democracy, monarchy, oligarchy republic, theocracy] to investigate/review for U.S. trade policies, trade agreements, and/or embargos. Using artifact resources, search for patterns (similarities/differences; advantages/disadvantages) and form inferences about how the U.S. influences other nations.
