Today, the students started the class with the following Warm-Up question: How does John Locke's view of the "state of nature" differ from Thomas Hobbes? What element could be used (according to Jean Jacques Rousseau) to balance power between ruling body and the people? What serves as America's element? EXPLAIN.
Following the warm-up, the teacher discussed the Primary Source documents of Rousseau's The Social Contract and the English Bill of Rights (1689) before transitioning to the opening of the issues with the Estate System in France and how Enlightenment ideas helped influence the peasants to revolt against Louis XVI.

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!
