Even though the United States was victorious during the TET offensive, it proved to the American public that the Viet Cong would not concede defeat and at that critical point public opinion changed and support for the War waned dramatically. Finally, this thesis looks at teaching the Vietnam War to high school students. I created a Professional Portfolio of resources, utilizing Howard Gardner' s theory of multiple intelligences, usable in the classroom to enhance student learning .
