Lesson exploring the significance of the Gulf of Tonkin in the US escalation in Vietnam. The starter recaps key definitions and asks students to explain their role in US involvement, the next activity introduces the Gulf of Tonkin using a small video, pupils then analyse President Johnson’s views and reluctance to escalate in the context of the election, pupils then ‘storyboard’ the incident using symbols to review the key events, building towards a ‘write an account’ question style (planning grid on the main hand out).
