Teachers struggle to get student engagement and buy-in for certain historical units, especially Vietnam War, resulting in passive learning and lack of discussion.

Existing curriculum materials may not address the specific challenge of engaging students in difficult historical topics, and there's no specialized tool to help teachers design interactive, debate-driven lessons for such units.
