Students were given a few minutes (5-10) at the beginning of the period to assemble their Unit 5 materials for their notebook collection on Friday (grading). Following this task, students were given instructions for starting their Unit 6 section in their notebooks (over World War I). The instructor posed the following question as a "Quickwrite" to help the students prepare to understand the issues present at the verge of World War I (1914): Suppose the President of the United States was on a peace mission to the Middle East (in Iraq) and during his trip, he were assassinated by a terrorist...do you blame the country for the assassination or the terrorist...and why? Justify your feelings and argument.
Following the Quickwrite...the instructor introduced some of the background on the Causes of World War I and the Unification of Germany (and its effects on the European community). The Quickwrite discussion and teacher lecture finished off the remainder of period time allotment.

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!
