Application Project Plan (APP)
Briefly describe your tentative Application Project or how you think you might incorporate media literacy into the work that you do with teachers and/or students.

Target Audience: 10th Grade Students
===Curriculum Goals: To have students understand the main concepts of the war- main causes of the war? Why did Vietnam become divided? Understanding the role containment played in the involvement of the U.S. in the war. Look at the similarities between the Americans and South Vietnamese people.===

===Media Literacy Goals: The students will be looking at a variety of media literacy and comparing the difference between all types of media and how the same event Vietnam War is portrayed through them all (propaganda). What are the similarities? Differences? Taking a look at who the author is ? Are there any biasts?===

===Other Goals: Allow the students to make the connections through all media. To recognize the influences media had on people's thoughts and opinions during the war. Allowing them to form, express, and share their own opinions on U.S. involvement.===

Proposed Activities: (What technology will be used -if any?)
How (all the below) influenced the media's purspective of the War music, movie, print (magazines, newspapers), Books (Picture Books - The Wall, Fallen Angels), pictures, poems. Technology used will be overhead projector, laptop, movie clips, and audio clips.

Assessment/Evaluation:
(how will you know your APP works to meet your goals?): Students will be assessed along the way with questions, but also through a final project having the students create a war poster to protest or support the Vietnam war. Here they will be able to demonstrate their understanding and express their opinions after looking at the causes and aftermath of the war. They will be able to decide whether they are for the war or want to pull the troops out. This can also be a great connection with today's war. After looking at all different types of media literacy they can show their understanding through the creation of their poster word, pictures chosen.........are they supported by facts??

Resources/Support:
Things to help you in the development of your APP including any technology support you may require: I need to know how to link audio and video clips to powerpoints or how to make a DVD with the correct clips needed. I also made a slide show of pictures related to the war and put int to a song but have to push play on the cd player and then press play 5 seconds later on the computer so that the slides go with the music. I need to know how to put the music right on the powerpoint slide.

Difficulties/Obstacles:
Any troubles in developing your APP: Only the technology stated above....
