DETAILS
Join the Choices Program at the Georgia Council for the Social Studies Conference in Athens, Georgia, for an engaging session as we explore the student readings, lessons, and videos from our award-winning curriculum unit The Vietnam War: Origins, History, and Legacies. Examine the “long history” approach of the unit, which starts in the 1860s with the creation of French Indochina and ends with the impact and ongoing legacy of the U.S. war in Vietnam. This unit incorporates diverse viewpoints of U.S., South Vietnamese, and North Vietnamese service members and civilians, providing a global perspective on the war. During the session, we’ll dive into one lesson in the unit, “Creating Historical Narratives.”
