Today in class, AP curriculum instruction began...starting with Unit 1 (Chapters 1-4). Students were exposed to some of the early history related to Exploration and Colonization within the Americas (Pre-Columbian Period and Pre-Colonial Period). Some of the elements of importance relate to the Indirect and Direct Causes of the Exploration-Colonization period. As a classroom activity, students took a look at some Primary and Secondary Sources dealing with the early Jamestown colony (1607)...Captain John Smith vs. Chief Powhatan.
Tonight's Homework: Continue with your Chapter Reading in American Pageant and begin completing the AP US History Chapter Questions for Chapters 1-4 (Due September 11, 2009)
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!
