Today, the students started the period with warm-up number three. Warm-Up Question #3 asked: What were the "immediate" and "underlying" causes of Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass)? How did anti-semitism (Jewish Racism) outside of Germany contribute to the problems of Jewish refugees? EXPLAIN.
Following the discussion of the warm-up question, the students finished the second half of "Elie Wiesel Goes Home" (Part 2). The focus of the video in today's segment was the visit to Auschwitz on the 50th anniversary and its emotional impact of Mr. Wiesel's life. The video was narrated using excerpts from his book "Night" played against the images from the Holocaust and the 50th anniversary visit.

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!
