Primary source documents introduce students to the key individuals and events that played a role in America’s entry into, escalation of, and final withdrawal from the war in Vietnam. The history of American involvement in Vietnam is traced through five lesson plans, each of which not only examines the individuals and events germane to the presidencies involved in the conflict (from Harry S. Truman through Gerald R. Ford), but also illustrate one of five different lesson plan frameworks representing both brain-based and sequential curricular models.
