VIET 101, Project 3
Portraits
Who are the Vietnamese Americans of Your Town?
Who are the young people of Vietnam today?
In this project, you will use Vietnamese to interview and describe a local Vietnamese American or a young person in Vietnam.
Toward the end, you will present in class and then either make a book or hold a public photo exhibition on campus to tell people about Vietnamese people (see Project Outcome).
In either option, you will show a photograph of the Vietnamese person together with a written description in Vietnamese.
Let's get started!
- If you are interested in interviewing and describing a local Vietnamese American, choose Entry Event A.
- If you are interested in interviewing and describing a Vietnamese person in Vietnam, choose Entry Event B.
