Containment in Asia
Now that you have learned about the important people, places, and events of the Vietnam War, create an acrostic poem to demonstrate your knowledge about this conflict. An acrostic poem uses the first letter of each line to spell out a word or a message pertaining to a theme.
Here is an example of an acrostic poem using the word WAR:
When people or groups battle
Against one another
Regionally, nationally, or internationally
Using the Vietnam War Acrostic Poem Template with the words VIETNAM WAR, write an acrostic poem that describes some of the concepts that you learned in this topic. Use your creativity and make sure that your poem makes sense and is descriptive.
When creating your poem, use the following guidelines:
- Your poem must include facts about the Vietnam War.
- Each line must have a word, a phrase, or a sentence associated with it, so any “leftover” letters are for personal reflections.
- Your poem does not need to rhyme.
