Today in class, students were introduced to the backgrounds and characteristics of the American colonial period (Southern Colonies, Middle Colonies and the New England Colonies). In relation to more in-depth analysis, students were exposed to Primary and Secondary Sources (Captain John Smith vs. Chief Powhatan) (Richard Frethorne's Letter of 1623) related to Jamestown. Some of the information presented compares the realities and myths about White European vs. Indian Relations as the founding of the colonies occurred.
Tonight's Homework: Continue with Chapter Reading in American Pageant and continue working on the Chapter Questions (Chapters 1-4). Additionally, please browse the blog site and investigate Course Notes and Outlines to assist with retention and understanding on lecture material.
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!
