Emphasize neatness from the beginning! Ask students to color and label the Mekong
River first. Remind them to use a #2 pencil or an erasable ink
pen for labeling the bodies of
water - color pencils are not very good for lettering. Next, ask students to draw the Ho Chi Minh Trail in red. It is named for one of the North Vietnamese leaders. Communist forces used this trail - actually a network of trails - to move soldiers and weapons into South Vietnam. Students should color North and South
Vietnam very lightly,
so the labels are not obscured. The DMZ line should be in red or
orange. Today, of course, there is only one Vietnam, and it is
under
the control of that country's Communist Party leaders. Saigon was
renamed Ho Chi Minh City after the communist take-over of South Vietnam
in 1975. Finally, students should label and lightly shade the water areas in light blue. |
