This video focuses on the battles of Khe Sahn and Tet. The video also does an excellent job explaining strengths and weaknesses of the American, Viet Cong, and NVA forces. The video does a great job of complimenting major educational concepts being taught in the classroom on the Vietnam War. Students will find the video interesting and engaging. From my perspective this is the best one hour student friendly documentary about the Vietnam War. With discussion and answering of questions in class this video worksheet will take at least an hour or more to complete. An optional writing activity about the Vietnam War is also included. Students take the role of an American soldier in Vietnam and write a letter home explaining what their life is like in South Vietnam. Word and PDF versions are included for the teacher.
