TTC and Vietnam 64-67

Today we started with some continued writing in our notebooks:

• Responses to the word "memory".
• Two things that are "true" about memory.
• Two things that people believe to be true about memory but are actually misconceptions.

After discussing our ideas, we read Ch. 3 from TTC out loud.  Then we chose one of three assigned sections and one that we chose for ourselves to write about what was happening in those sections and what those two sections say about memory.  Also, does what you wrote, apply to your sense of your own memories.

During the 2nd part of class, we looked at some basic information about the Vietnam War including this map and these key leaders and fighting forces.

We then learned a little bit more about the "enemy" and their actions: Blood Bath Discipline.

We also watched CBS News footage from the war, stopping to do a creative response after each story seen in this clip. CBS News: A Chronicle of the Vietnam War 7:49-17:28

We finished by looking at an alternative version of the Morley Safer story that is the final story in the clip.
