WSCSS Conference Session
DETAILS
Join the Choices Program at the Washington State Council for the Social Studies conference at the Washington State History Museum in Tacoma. We’ll explore the student readings, lessons, and videos in the Choices Program’s award-winning curriculum, The Vietnam War: Origins, History, and Legacies. All attendees will go home with a complimentary one-year license to the curriculum.
The session demonstrates an innovative “long history” framework to the study of war and demonstrates ways to bring multiple voices and perspectives into the study of the Vietnam War. Appropriate for U.S. History, World History, Foreign Policy electives, Asian Studies, and several AP and IB courses, the session will include participating in a very abbreviated lesson on creating Historical Narratives and one on women in the Vietnam War.
This session will take place in the Lunch Room.
