CLASS OVERVIEW: In this class we will be learning about the Vietnam War in the video game of Minecraft. The Vietnam War was one of the biggest conflicts during the Cold War and it is still in the memory of many today. Even thought the Vietnam War was a single event it is part of a much bigger world struggle between Capitalism and Communism. In this class we will explore what caused the war, why it happened and what were the consequences. We will visit a Jungle village of Vietnam in Minecraft to help us understand what this conflict was like for soldiers and the local Vietnamese people. We will see the Vietnam War like never before! The Vietnam War should not just be kept in the history books.
Learning Goals
In this class we will start our tour in the Jungle. From here we will explore a local Vietnamese village to see how the local people lived. We will get to see why Jungle Warfare was so effective and why the Americans eventually had to leave Vietnam. This class will make history come to life!
