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.
 * Annotated Protest Collage - This should be done with one or two partners! **

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.
