In order to assist the students in their understanding of the "heightened tensions" between the United States and Soviet Union during the Cuban Missile Crisis...the instructor and the students watched the first half of "Thirteen Days" together in class.
The instructor and the students participated in a short discussion near the end of the period examining the basis (creation) for the increased hostility between the world's two superpowers during the 1950's and 1960's.

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!
