Vietnam War
Documentary
Amie S., Chengxian Z.

My topic was about Vietnam War. I learned a lot while doing this such as how the war started, conflict and compromise, and why the United States got involved. Why the United States got involved was basically what we focus on. Some people think that it was wrong that the United States sent troops to support the Vietnam because it caused more people and the soldiers doesn't know what they fought for. After finished this project, I have more knowledge about the Vietnam War.

Working with partners was all fine, but I was mad because 2 of my partners doesn’t do nothing. I was mad at that time but now its over and we done with this project. I gave up in the last minute, I thought my documentary was a mess and I didn’t want to work on it anymore, but Amie still working on it and I think the documentary was better that before.

Some challenges like the interview. The interview was pretty good, but the problem was that the sound was not clear. And the guy that we interview talked too much and it doesn’t fit into our questions. We were sad about it. Another problem was that doing a documentary and have to stay after school. Last time I stayed after school until almost 7:00PM, and I was worried about that my parents would call my grandma. So I called my parents to China.

I think I will do a paper next year, because I can’t work with a partner who don’t do nothing, I’m tired of doing things in the last minute. Doing a documentary has to stay in the school and do it. Its more easier than documentary.
