https://padlet.com/cshapiro/vietnamtermsexample Concept Map of Key Terms: Why are these terms important, and how do they interrelate? en-us 2018-04-05 19:37:12 UTC 2023-02-28 08:53:17 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Optimplaces.png cshapiro https://padlet.com/cshapiro/vietnamtermsexample/wish/249032042 The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was the official "got us into the war" event. LBJ went to Congress to ask for the ability to get troops into Vietnam because two Navy Destroyers had been fired on by North Vietnamese boats (once, yes; second time, didn't actually happen). Congress said yes, LBJ got a blank check to get troops on the ground, starting in 1964. This resolution was passed in August of 1964.

(Did your group look this one up? Don't want to give it away...)]]> 2018-04-05 19:49:48 UTC https://padlet.com/cshapiro/vietnamtermsexample/wish/249034991 cshapiro https://padlet.com/cshapiro/vietnamtermsexample/wish/249036695 1.  Do a quick plan on paper first; how do these terms interrelate?  What connections do you see between events?
2.  Make sure to grant permissions to your group members so that they can collaborate with you
2.  Define each term clearly (paraphrase!!!) See my example with "Gulf of Tonkin."  Then, use any sort of media you wish to illustrate each term: video, image, link to website, map, etc.  Look at what's available with the "..." feature
3.  Get creative with your connections and make sure to title them in a concise, clear way
4.  Make a video in a new post (watch short video below)providing an overall explanation of your concept map's big ideas and major findings
5.  How to get an A:  all terms defined and illustrated, (your info should be spot-on); a viewer should not have to look up the term in order to have a strong understanding of what it's about (what happened, who was involved, when did it happen, where did it happen, and WHY is it important to know); connections make sense and show deep thinking; and group has video to explain their map (two minutes or less--script it out a bit first, no improv).]]> 2018-04-05 19:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cshapiro/vietnamtermsexample/wish/249036695 cshapiro https://padlet.com/cshapiro/vietnamtermsexample/wish/249364943 2018-04-06 20:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cshapiro/vietnamtermsexample/wish/249364943
