To Start:
We’re going to be watching an excerpt from The Fog of War, to get a sense of the confusion surrounding the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

In Class:
First, I’ll return your Gulf of Tonkin packets and my feedback for your essay. This week you’ll have the opportunity to refine your essay and earn back any points you missed:
  • You need to refine every single category that you received a 14 or less in.
  • If you got more than a 14 in every category, select at least one category that you’d like to refine.
  • Highlight your revisions in the Google Document.
  • Turn your revisions in to Google Classroom by the end of day on Friday.

Then, we’ll have reading time. Read and respond to “How to Tell a True War Story” before class tomorrow.

Finally, we’ll have a feedback circle to discuss how to finish this project strongly.

Homework:
  • Read and respond to “How to Tell a True War Story” before class tomorrow.
  • Essay corrections are due in Google Classroom by the end of day on Friday. (Do not plan on having any more in-class work time.)
  • Do plan on having in-class work time to read and prepare for our seminar. If you like to read ahead, plan on reading:
    • The Things They Carried
    • Spin
    • On Rainy River (Challenge Extension)
    • How to Tell a True War Story
    • The Sweetheart of Song Tra Bong
    • Speaking of Courage
    • Good Form
    • Night Life
