This lesson is designed to inform students about the TET offensive in order to enable them to explain why it was a significant turning point in the War leading to US public opposition.

Hook starter: A Selection of images for students to study upon entrance to class encouraging them to reflect upon how they would feel if they were seeing these images on TV. Students watch a video clip (Embedded) and are supplied with contextual knowledge via the PEEP SHEET if required. Students are encouraged to explain the significance of the TET and why it led to increased public opposition. Students then apply their knowledge to an exam style question (Why do interpretations one and two have different opinions about the success of the TET). WAGOL is then provided as students peer assess. Lesson ends with a rounding up of students opinions about why the TET was a turning point. easily enough to cover more than one lesson.

The purpose of this lesson is to educate students on the reasons for support of the Vietnam War. The lesson focuses upon measuring public opinion of the War, Hard Hat Riots, Nixon's 'silent majority' among many other reasons supporting the Vietnam war to then apply this knowledge to a utility question. After a fun 'patriotism' starter task students will work to record all acquired knowledge on a fully resourced knowledge builder work sheet. Although not neccessarily required any school textbook could be used to support student learing and progress. All sources of evidence are included and annotated to support students along with videos which are embedded and links provided. There is also a student friendly mark scheme to be used for peer / self assessment of student answers to the assessment question.

Main task 2: students are then to apply their contextual knowledge to evaluating a source of evidence for usefulness (Layers of inference) students then compare their responses to a WAGOLL response where they are to highlight where the candidate has used details of the source / own knowledge to address the question. Students are then to use this skill to work upon a different source of evidence themselves and answer the usefulness question (supplied in the inference booklet) Plenary: Teacher poses question on the board ‘What was the most significant failure of the League dealing with the Manchuria Crisis 1931?
