After creating my Romantic Poets powerpoint I was excited about my newfound skills and decided to try them out in creating another PPT. We will be reading The Things They Carried, a novel dealing with soldiers in the Vietnam War. I began thinking about poetry and song and social protest and decided to create a PPT that would educate my students on the Vietnam War as well as on social protest. I was able to link youtube videos and create a PPT that will give my students a clear understanding of what was going on here at home, in some cases, during the Vietnam War. I believe this presentation will help my students understand the novel better.
