Students will answer multiple questions for each station on the student handout. The activity also includes reflection questions at the end. Students will consider:
What were the compelling arguments against the Vietnam War?
How was this movement connected to the Civil Rights Movement?
The optional summary activity prompts students to create a song, poem, or political cartoon for the anti-war movement. Student directions are included.
Possible ways to use this activity:
- Gallery Walk/Stations Activity (Students walk around and view the stations as if they were in a museum!)
- Small group/partner work with a document packet (Students view a packet of the artifacts and collaborate to complete the handout.)
- Jigsaw (Students become experts on one or two topics and teach a small group.)
- Teacher-Led/Whole-Class activity (Go over the stations as a whole class.)
- Post electronically (Have students complete individually.)
The protest era of the 1960s and 1970s fascinates students as a moment of social, cultural, and legal change. I use this gallery walk activity in my American History course to promote understanding of the topic and generate critical thinking.
