This unit tells the “long history” of the destructive, deadly, and divisive U.S. war in Vietnam. Students examine the war’s long-term origins, investigate its complex history, and explore its lasting legacies.
The Choices Program sends out a weekly newsletter (with some exceptions) via email. These emails contain announcements about new curriculum units, new editions of existing units, Teaching with the News lessons, and new video content. They may sometimes feature some of our resources that could be used in conjunction with national holidays or awareness months, such as Earth Day, Juneteenth, Black History Month, Native American Heritage Month, and more.
