Activity Overview


Maps are extremely helpful for students to contextualize where events are occurring, especially if they are happening in a different country. There were many important battles and events that occurred during the Vietnam War. In this activity, students will label a map of Vietnam, highlighting key locations from the War. Teachers may also ask students to note what important event occurred in that location, and when. This can be done on a separate sheet of paper, or teachers can add a second page to the template! Teachers can find other mapping worksheets if they wish to provide variety for students, or further customize the assignment.

This worksheet is completely customizable, so feel free to edit the activity or instructions as desired. Depending on student needs, you can add or remove word banks, change out imagery, scale the map, and more! While you can choose to assign this to students on Storyboard That, the worksheet can also be printed out! Once you've finished, save and print! Students can handwrite, color, and draw on their maps.
