Yesterday in class we began to discuss the causes of the Vietnam War. Mr. Kramer used this PRESENTATION to guide us through our learning. After looking at the clip from The Century: Poisoned Dreams that identifies Kennedy's call to action in the Peace Corps and the creation of the Green Berets (30:00-36:00), we looked at a letter from a concerned citizen about American involvement in Vietnam as well as Kennedy's response to it.
Today in class we'll be discussing the Tonkin Gulf Resolution and starting to watch Dear America: Letters Home From Vietnam. As we watch, we'll be taking notes about the details of the war, things that were being expressed in the letters, important images, and songs/lyrics used.
