  3. Welcome to the Smith Household, 1971 • You are a having dinner at the Smith house. During this time, the country is divided between Pro and Anti-War, Hippies and the Silent Majority, the rich and the poor. This is something that the Smiths will be discussing at dinner because they are very interested in both foreign and domestic policy. • You will be assigned a role to play. As you get to know your character, think about the following questions: • 1. Should the U.S. continue to be involved in the war in Vietnam? • 2. What would victory mean in the war? • 3. How were America’s founding ideals influenced/affected by the war? • Use the packet and pages 675-679 to answer the questions based on your character’s POV

  4. Pre-Dinner Preparation: • Step 1: Review background information from your class notes and textbook. • Step 2: Examine evidence packet. Identify quotes and instances that would support your character’s beliefs. • Step 3: Prepare arguments and answers to the central questions of the activity using the graphic organizer. Simulation Procedures: • Step 4: Listen closely as each dinner table participant makes an opening remark. • Step 5: Through questioning and discussion, draw out information from the other participants. • Step 6: Questions for discussion—1. Should the U.S. continue to be involved in the war in Vietnam? 2. What would victory mean in the war? 3. How were America’s founding ideals influenced/affected by the war?

  5. Group Roles • EVERY GROUP MEMBER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR UNDERSTANDING THE ARGUMENT AND EVIDENCE AND SUPPORTS YOUR PERSPECTIVE! • Actor: participates in the dinner table discussion and relates the group’s character to the class • Historian: takes notes and masters the historical information/evidence that supports the groups character and can assist the actor during the discussion • Artist: creates a name tag for the actor and any other props that fit the character • Script Writer: creates some scripted lines for the actor to say that fits the character’s personality
