The Tet Offensive: A Media Analysis Activity
In this media analysis activity, students will view selected clips from Ken Burns & Lynn Novick: The Vietnam War and complete a graphic organizer about information found in the clips. They then will use the information from the clips and the organizer to write editorials/commentaries assessing Tet Offensive news coverage either as fair and balanced or as biased, turning American popular opinion against the war and undermining the US war effort.
