Parent Guide > Resistance to the Vietnam War
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "Resistance to the Vietnam War" by Jessica McBirney.
This article discusses the reasons behind popular resistance to the Vietnam War along with the ways people showed their disapproval (and, eventually, helped bring the war to an end).
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Social Change & Revolution and War & Peace as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How do people create change?" and "How can we achieve peace?"
