Once you have checked all of your house keeping items, you are ready to begin your Webquest. Here are a few essential questions to get you thinking about this topic. You should not necessarily try to answer these questions right away. Instead, think about each question and how the evidence you came across fits into each question. From there, begin to organize the evidence effectively so that you can have an easier time making a decision about the Vietnam War's successes or failures.
1) What was the goal(s) of the United States prior to entering into the Vietnam War? What evidence supports this idea?
2) Is this document a primary or secondary source? How does that affect the ways in which we interpret that source?
3) What does this source/document say with regards to economics? Politics? Society?
4) How can this document/source be used to argue Vietnam was a success? A failure?
5) How does this document make you feel about your original claim? Does it make you believe in your claim more, less, or does it have no effect? Why?
