This lesson plan sets up a scenario that involves lost, declassified military documents concerning a program begun in 1945 that placed 1,000 men and women in stasis (they were called "sleepers") deep within mine shafts in the mountains of Utah. The program was to provide, in the event of an overthrow of the U.S. government, a means to re-establish the U.S. government and way of life. Student teams must provide a brief but complete history, emphasizing the Truman Doctrine, of the past 50 years for the forgotten, and now-awakened, "sleepers." Students are provided with background information, detailed instructions, online resources, a Web site evaluation form, and reflection questions. The teacher's notes describe the unit's purpose, explain the unit's correlation to history/social science standards, suggest day-by-day teaching strategies, and address adaptations for special needs students.
