Today in class, students read and discussed some of the Primary Source Documents relating to the historical accounts of Captain John Smith and their impact on Historical Interpretation (17th century and today). During the exercise, students completed a Graphic Organizer detailing the similarities and differences between Captain John Smith's accounts of his capture and relations with the Powhatan Confederacy. Overall, students became aware of how Captain John Smith's writings impacted the Jamestown colony.
Tonight's Homework: Continue with textbook reading in American Pageant and continue with the completion of the AP Chapter Questions for Chapters 1-4 (due Sept 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!
