Building Background Knowledge: The Impending Fall of Saigon


Description

Students continue to work with Section 5 of “The Vietnam Wars.” Be sure students have their texts. During Work Time Part A, students carefully examine the photographs and associated captions that are part of Section 5. If you accessed the article via the internet, be sure that students’ texts include the photos. If this is not possible, search the internet for the three iconic images shown in this article (a monk in flames, North Vietnamese tanks entering Saigon, and refugees loading onto a helicopter).
