Most of today's class was spent watching the documentary film "Dear America: Letters Home from Vietnam". You will be writing your Chapter 7 Cold War Exam on April 28th. Please see the study guide below.

It is a multiple choice test with 70-75 multiple choice questions. Please make sure that you have read Chapter 7. Here are some other study tips:
