Initially, the students’ will be able to “see” the war through the lenses of different persons serving in Vietnam. Students will form a panel discussion group. Each panel should be comprised of different war occupants (e.g. a nurse, solider, civilian, etc). The panelist will not only discuss their research, but also be able to answer the overarching question: “what was the effect of the Vietnam War on the particular group?” Additionally, each student will complete and turn in a “self-reflection” of the assignment.
