Today, the students began the period with their third warm-up question for Unit 9. Warm-Up Question #3 stated: How did the United States foreign policy toward Cuba in the 1950's backfire? How did this policy affect relations with Francisco Bautista (1950's) and Fidel Castro (1960's-Present)? What did the Cuban Missile Crisis (1962) reveal about the policies of the United States? EXPLAIN.
Following the discussion of the warm-up...the instructor and the students examined the segment of the movie "Thirteen Days" analyzing the backdoor channel negotiations between JFK and Nikita Khrushchev over the nuclear weapons in Cuba (Soviet) and Turkey (US/UN).

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!
