**Annotated Protest Collage - This should be done with one or two partners!** The war in Vietnam is usually referred to as the most unpopular war in American history. As the conflict dragged on, more and more Americans opposed American involvement overseas. This assignment will allow you to describe many of the aspects of the antiwar movement creatively by creating a **virtual collage** concerning the antiwar movement.


 * Your collage will contain the following …**
 * **4** different and detailed **reasons why people began to protest** the war in Vietnam
 * **3** different and detailed **methods people used to protest** the war
 * **3** descriptions of **different people or groups of people who protested** the war in Vietnam
 * **2** excerpts of **lyrics from Vietnam era protest songs**
 * At least **5** different **images that symbolize the antiwar movement** (the images can also go along with the annotations)
 * **embedded video** to support the antiwar movement descriptions

To prepare for this tonight, you should use the various sources identified below to WRITE THE ANNOTATIONS on a wiki page on your Unit 8 wiki. You will be creating the collage in Friday's class and part of Tuesday’s class. You should also FIND SOME POSSIBLE IMAGES AND VIDEO online and include the hyperlinks on your wiki page as well. I have some examples on a different page that you should follow. Come to class prepared on Friday. If you want to get a head start, you will be creating the collage on Glogster. Log in as usmstudent, password of "wildcats", and begin - but make sure you put your name on it!

The bloodshed of the war was more known and real to the public, which scared poeple more.
 * FOUR REASONS WHY THE WAR WAS PROTESTED:

Many people did not like the drft because it made people fight even if they really did not want to

The mix of evrything going on with deaths and civil and stuff. Such as Martin Luther King was killed

Even though the war was very bad, media made it seem bigger and worse than it was || THREE METHODS USED TO PROTEST THE WAR: Speeches Speaking about the war to people and why it shouldnt be going on

Marches Walking and protesting in places like Washington DC

Riots Rioting in famous and historical places, this is not as much of a peaceful way but is more effective. || "Ohio" Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'. We're finally on our own. This summer I hear the drummin'. Four dead in Ohio.
 * TWO SONGS:

"I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die" And it's one, two, three, What are we fighting for ? Don't ask me, I don't give a d--mn, Next stop is Vietnam. And it's five, six, seven, Open up the pearly gates, Well there ain't no time to wonder why Whoopee! we're all gonna die. || THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE:

1. Hippies had opposed the war because they believed in non-violence and didn't like how the government was taking away lives.

2. College Students (Yippies) made a large part of the resisters to the Vietnam war. They held protests all over campuses such as Kent State, because many felt the draft was unfair, and seeked a world in peace and just.

3. Singers and musicians used their songs to show their disapproval of the war, to bring social changes they believed in, with support for freedom and free thought- what they didn't like about War instead of peace. ||
