1. Note all of the reasons why you feel the war in Vietnam is wrong.
I feel that the war in Vietnam is wrong because all of the soldier that are sent over there are only 18 and untrained for this line of work and are mostly just going over there to die. Also because America is pumping money over there when there is no need for that and they are being so gruesome to the innocent civilians.
2. Note what you re trying to achieve with this poster. (e.g. to convince people to write to their Congressmen to get the troops out.)
Apparently we need to kill the innocent, so just use the orange agent.
3. List possible images for your poster. Think about: background (e.g. destroyed villages); the central image (e.g. picture of a young soldier); whether you will need words to explain your image.
An airplane going over civilians with agent orange.
4. List some possible slogans for your poster.
Apparently we need to kill the innocent, so just use the orange agent.

Vietnam War Turning Points
1. Why was the Tet Offensive a turning point? Explain your answer.
It was a turning point in the war because it raised hard questions for the US. Was it right to have the US using so much money and soldiers and civilians lives to take back all the land lost when taken by surprise so easily.
2. Are Sources 51 and 52 making the same point about the My Lai Massacre?
They are and are not because it shows all the people that they killed but that doesn't show the point of how the soldiers weren't prepared to kill all the towns, it just shows that they killed a lot of people and not that they showed compassion for the people that they were killing.
3. Why do you think it took 12 months for
anyone to do anything about the massacre?
I think it took them 12 months for anyone to do anything about the massacre because they hadn't found out that they had done something wrong because the soldiers had thought that they were supposed to murder all of the village.
4. Why was the massacre so shocking to
the American public?
Because when they had heard from all of their sources that the Americans were being drafted not to kill all these innocent people but to prevent the spread of communism so they weren't prepared to hear that the American soldiers were killing so many innocent.
