Today, the instructor and the students discussed the impact of the Old West on America (White-Indian Relations, Mining, Ranching, Meatpacking, Railroad, Cowboys, Gunslingers). The students were exposed to visuals from the era and examined the impact of the Homestead Act and the Dawes Act (in particular) on the developments in the New West. Today's information closed out the topics for Unit 8 (Chapters 23-26).
Tonight's Homework: Finish AP Chapter Questions for Unit 8 (Chapters 23-26) and bring questions for Monday's review...Unit 8 AP Exam is Tuesday morning!
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!
