- Working with a partner, they should complete an “A to Z” list on the Vietnam War era. They write the letters of the alphabet, one on each line of the paper, and write in a word or term which relates to the time period. For example, “S for Saigon”. Students need to be able to explain the significance of the term. 20 terms will be a grade of “A”, with an additional bonus point awarded for each additional term. This will count as half a quiz grade on term 1. All work is to be turned in at the end of the period. They may use the computers for this.
