Blog #24.1 Military Might and the Vietnam War

Since we are nearing the home stretch for JROTC as LET2's you need to know about your term project so here it is. We are going to be studying the Cold War; the Korean Confict; and the Vietnam Conflict this coming marking period so your term project will revolve around movies and learning from a video You assignment is an easy one as you will see from the following list.  You first must select a movie about the Vietnam Confict and watch the movie.  Once for pleasure and the second time to fill in your movie review term project paperwork. Once you have completed this you will be on your way to passing LET2 as long as you have passed all of your other requirements.

Here are a few of the Vietnam War movies that are available to watch online or downloadable from various sources. Remember to post your 3 choices and you must explain why you want to watch at least two of the movies. Post a URL for the movies and also comment on other Cadet's work. Good luck and I hope that you are one of the lucky ones to post first in your class.

Select at least 3 movies that you want to choose from and post your responses back our blog. Once you have done so, explain why you chose at least two of the movies. After that, you must then find a Video Clip to post about your movie and post it back to our blog. Remember, you need 3 Movies so that in case someone else in your class get's the movie you wanted, you still have two more to fall back on.  I expect all students to have posted their work by the end of their 7th and 8th period classes. You will make your final selections on Friday when I return to the classroom.
