The students received back their scores from the Unit 6 AP Exam (Chapters 16-19). Following the discussion about the test results, the students were given their AP Chapter Questions for Unit 7.
Today in class, the students began their Group Activity preparing for Monday's DBQ over John Brown and Harper's Ferry. Students were divided up into 5 groups and given a selection of Primary Source Documents pertaining to the John Brown Raid on Harper's Ferry. The students (in their groups) were asked to assess, analyze and debrief each other about the significance and meaning of their documents in conjunction to Northern and Southern sympathies (Pre- and Post- Civil War). The students will work through the documents on Wednesday and Thursday and present their findings to their peers (and the instructor) on Friday in preparation for Monday's timed write in class (DBQ essay).
Tonight's Homework: Complete Group Assigned Document Analysis (DBQ Activity).
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!
