In order to make connections between world politics and the role of the United States, the instructor and the students watched the documentary video, "The Road to 9/11". The documentary looks at the political, economic and social relationships of the United States with Middle Eastern countries and how our actions (in history) have contributed to a growing resentment among Arab nations. The students were asked to pay attention to the "choices" we have made and to examine whether our decision-making was based on short-term or long-term goals and what issues may have been present that could have influenced that decision (communism, oil, economics, etc).

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!
