Today in class, students were introduced to examples in history where Facts, Legends, Myths and Lesser Truths impact what we determine as "accurate". To emphasize this point, students were exposed to the ATP Series Video dealing with the ideas of Columbus, Paul Revere and many other "interpretive histories" to uncover the idea of a "Greater vs. Lesser Truth". In between segments, teacher and students held discussion about how mediums (books, TV, Internet, Pop Culture) affect historical recording.
Tonight's Homework: Continue with completing your Summer Reading Assignment (Chapters 1-7) and please pick a Class Notebook for Monday (Mead 5-star or comparable).
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!
