Dr. Seuss: The End of the Cold War



The End of the Cold War—for the Yooks and the Zooks Name: Per.

1. As you listen to the Dr. Seuss story “The Butter Battle Book” write down the real life meanings of these words:

|Wall | |

|Yooks/Zooks | |

|Butterside up/ butterside down | |

|“So you can’t trust a zook who spreads bread underneath!” | |

|Snich-beryswitch / slingshot / triple-sling jigger / jigger | |

|–rich saatchen / kick-a-poo bird / goo sprinklers / big boy | |

|boomeroo | |

|Fancier uniforms | |

|Chief yookeroo / boys in the back room / Moo-lacka-moo | |

|Butter-up band / right-side-up song girls / “be faithful, | |

|believe in butter” | |

|Underground | |

|Who’s going to drop it? Will you…? Or will he…? | |

You now know the story of Zook and of Yook,

And by golly it’s time to finish the book.

When we last left the story, with a quiver and quigger,

Just wondering exactly who might pull the trigger.

Using knowledge and know-how and gosh all your wit,

Write an ending to the story that ended so quick.

Include history and fact and all that you can

Draw a picture so history doesn’t seem quite so bland.

Make it rhyme and for sure you’ll get as return

A nice lovely grade that you rightly have earned.

Your assignment:

Create a final page of “the Butter Battle Book.” It should be culminating, in that it should teach children how the Cold War ended, but at the same time, it should be thoughtful and written for a young adult audience. On your page you must make three references to Cold War realities. These references can be in the form of events, dates, people, countries. Use your textbook and class notes to help you.
