Today in class, students were introduced to the Historical Thinking Skill of analyzing Political Cartoons. As a practice exercise, students were given a set of Level One, Level Two and Level Three Critical Thinking Questions related to cartoon graphics. Using the established questions, students were asked to complete the worksheet using a cartoon from a historical event (familiar to them already from 7th and 8th grade study...The Great Depression). Upon completing the practice exercise, students were then given two cartoons dealing with the Conflict in Iraq and thus, given time to identify and comprehend their overall messages. Prior to the close of the period, the teacher and students discussed the cartoon messages together.

About Me
- Mr. Gull
- Before I became a high school history teacher, I spent 14 years in the corporate world where I specialized in Healthcare Administration. In addition, I spent 3 1/2 years participating in professional sports (Satellite Professional Tennis Tour and Professional Golf Mini-Tours). In 2005, I found I really loved working in the classroom, so I returned to graduate school to earn my Masters degree in Education. I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING ANYTHING ELSE...I LOVE WORKING WITH MY STUDENTS!
