The students started the period with warm-up question number one for Unit 9 (The Cold War Era). Warm-Up Question #1 stated: What actions might the United States have justified by "Domino Theory" (Truman Doctrine)? Have things changed much since 1947 with regards to Truman's Doctrine? What role did the policy of "containment" (Truman Doctrine) play in the involvement of the United States in the wars (conflicts) in Korea and Vietnam? EXPLAIN.
Following a discussion of the warm-up question for today, the students watched a video segment from Korea: The Forgotten War about the causes and effects of the United States involvement in fighting communism in the Pacific Rim (1950'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!
