[|The Vietnam War Memorial] **This site has everything from casualty numbers to birthdays to photographs. However, the link I provided brings you to the literary part of the page, where family, friends, and strangers have written poems and stories. This section of the website could be used to provoke thinking about what it meant to loved ones who lost, or prompt students to write their own poem to those currently lost or serving in Iraq or Afghanistan.

[|Vietnam War Video] **This video (30:58) provides a comprehensive overview of the Vietnam War. The program chronicles the significant events of the war, looking specifically at Ho Chi Minh's rise to power and the spread of communism, and recounts a broad scope of relevant events: the Tet offensive, the Democratic National Convention, and the Christmas bombings. Discussing the importance of such central figures as Richard Nixon, Lyndon Johnson, and Emperor Bao Dai, the presentation closes with a series of twenty multiple-choice comprehension questions focusing on the Viet Cong, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, and the Ho Chi Minh trail. This added feature are "built-in" quizzes that students can take after watching the video. The video talks to students in a clear, simplified manner and tries to catch their attention via unconvential (and sometimes corny) means. When prompted for ID and password, use cliu21 and cliu21.

[|Vietnam War Webquest] **This webquest is complete with an introduction, tasks/roles that students will assume, and a description of the processes students need to successfully complete the webquest. In addition, there are great links and resources to aid students in their study of the Vietnam war. This webquest not only addresses the war itself, but the political and social implications of a war that divided our nation. (Source: Mrs. Naff)**

[|Vietnam War Webquest #2] **This webquest is less profound but serves as a good "starter" to the Vietnam War. Students answer essential questions using links provided in the process section. In addition to using this webquest as a warmup to the war, this webquest could be used in a case where textbooks are short and students need to research important, basic facts about the war. A rubric is included. (Source: Breena McCool and Brittany Kreitzburg)**
