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.
