Lesson+Plans

This is the final lesson plan. Please let me know it it will work or if I need to add/remove anything. [|space race] Here is a link to the webquest that i think would work. I'll try and put it into the actual lesson plan because i know it can't really be printed out. Kate

Here is the rough draft of my lesson plan. I am certainly open to suggestions.

Thanks, Kristi

Here is what I came up with this weekend Understanding: The 1960's were concerned with the wars occuring overseas as well as the domestic battles of civil rights. Questions: 1- How are the different civil rights movements similar to one another? 2- Why did the advancement of technology aid in creating and maintaining the Cold War?

Here is a book that we can use for our trade book. It is called [| We were soldiers once...and young : Ia Drang, the battle that changed the war in Vietnam By: Harold G. Moore and Joseph L. Galloway.] Here is a brief description of it: "In November 1965, some 450 men of the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry, under the command of Lt. Col. Hal Moore, were dropped by helicopter into a small clearing in the Ia Drang Valley. They were immediately surrounded by 2,000 North Vietnamese soldiers. Three days later, only two and a half miles away, a sister battalion was chopped to pieces. Together, these actions at the landing zones X-Ray and Albany constituted one of the most savage and significant battles of the Vietnam War. How these men persevered--sacrificed themselves for their comrades and never gave up--makes a vivid portrait of war at its most inspiring and devastating. General Moore and Joseph Galloway, the only journalist on the ground throughout the fighting, have interviewed hundreds of men who fought there, including the North Vietnamese commanders. This devastating account rises above the specific ordeal it chronicles to present a picture of men facing the ultimate challenge, dealing with it in ways they would have found unimaginable only a few hours earlier. It reveals to us, as rarely before, man's most heroic and horrendous endeavor" It comes from http://www.militaryreadinglist.com/vietnamwar/vietnamwar.htm. If I should find a different book, please let me know. I can check this book out and bring it to class on Thursday if you want.
