The document provides instructions for an activity where students work in groups to share information about their favorite historic heroes from Vietnamese history. Students are asked to choose a hero, prepare a short talk about when they lived, what they were like, what they did for their country, and what is admired about them. The teacher facilitates the activity by providing example hero names, monitoring for errors, and leading a discussion at the end to share what was learned.
