July Session - First Day Assignment
Before you leave today, you need to let me know what theme/topic you are going to focus on for the next day or two. You may post your comment here. In addition, you need to let me know how you spent your time. Did you visit some of my post blog posts? If so, which ones did you find particularly interesting? Did you find any project suggestions that appeal to you? If so, which one(s)?If you are struggling coming up with topics/themes, visit the wikispace page or see me for Mr. Theide's binder. I have copies of the U.S. History and World History textbooks as well. You can spend some time looking through the textbooks or skimming the Table of Contents for topic suggestions.
If you posted a comment under an older post, let me know so I can give you credit.

I've always enjoyed looking at visual art, but I don't have a whole lot of understanding for much of it aside from anything that ties in with musical works, so I'd like to research some 20th century art, too.
I've also been fascinated by the various things going on in the 1960's to 70's having to do with counterculture, communism, drug use, and again, experimentalism in music, so I wanna check out some' dat fo shiz.

You can search the blog: type in "Improving School Climate."
Are you familiar with the film "Platoon"? You might want to do a little research on this film as well.
Let me know what you'd like to do.
location : Southern Asia
the war ended up with the withdrawal of the united states and the win for northern Vietnam.
In 1973 the president of the united states had started the "Come Back Home" campaign to bring back the soldiers home to the United States and leave the war up to other people because we had enough of it.
The war had effects on both sides of the war front. Millions of Vietnamese had died on both sides including many Americans, Phillipenos,etc.(all the other races of people who joined the fight to get southern Vietnam its independence.

I guess I'm confused. I know you want to do something with the Vietnam War. Is there something in particular that you would like to study in depth?
If you are not sure what to do, I suggest doing a webquest search for topics relating to the Vietnam War. A webquest is an online lesson. I have the address linked in an older blog post. I think the post is called, "Looking for Ideas." I will look for it and include it in today's post.
Did you watch "Born on the Fourth of July" in the June session? If so, it is not too late to do a project associated with the film.
