Today, the students began the period with their second warm-up question for Unit 9 (The Cold War Era). Warm-Up Question #2 stated: What effects did the Korean War have on the Korean people (North and South) and the nation as a whole? What about the effects on the United States, China and the USSR (Soviet Union/Russia)? What differing U.S. and Soviet (Russian) policies led to the development of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962? How did the Cold War influence the International Peace Conference (Geneva) of 1954 to divide Vietnam at the 17th Parallel? EXPLAIN.
Following the discussion of the warm-up question (and some side-bar questions about Nuclear Proliferation (amount of available missiles)...the instructor led a lecture and discussion about the impact of US-Soviet Relations on events in the 1950's and 1960's (Vietnamese relations, U2 Spy Plane, Cuban Revolution, Bay of Pigs Invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis).

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!
