THIS RESOURCE IS A MUST-HAVE FOR ANY TEACHER LOOKING TO GIVE STUDENTS A COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AT THE VIETNAM WAR. STUDENTS FOLLOW ALONG CHRONOLOGICALLY WITH GUIDED NOTES AS THEY LOOK AT PRIMARY SOURCES, VIDEO LINKS, AND MUCH MORE...
 
This massive series of PowerPoint slides guides students through background on the Vietnam War (e.g. French colonization and First Indochina War), details involvement of other countries (e.g. China, Cambodia, Laos, etc.), and goes through developments, year-by-year from the 1950s to 1975. There is a graphic organizer to keep students engaged as well. Plenty of hyperlinks for videos and discussion points means this unit takes about a week to teach. Enjoy!
