A Day with Mimi Gerald E Waite

Marc Notes: LC lacking DVD.; A teacher's guide to augment the DVD on the same subject. Intended as an introduction to Vietnam for seventh grade social studies students. Written by Ball State University students based on their study tour of Vietnam in the spring of 2009.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 120-126). Publisher Marketing: Vit Nam! Famous for a war, an exotic destination, and now a world partner in the global community. Ball State University students explore the land and culture as an immersive learning project to bring the modern face of that country home. This introduction to Vit Nam, and to Mimi and her family, will bring into focus a dynamic emerging player on the world stage and the face of a friendly outgoing people not often seen in Western literature. This teaching unit consisting of a DVD, a book and teaching materials, has been entirely developed by Ball State and its students to introduce others to a country they have found so hospitable. During three trips to Vietnam, these students have repeatedly stated that there needs to be a way to introduce other Americans to the friends they have made half a world away. This teaching packet is the product of that desire. Welcome to Vietnam.
