At the start of the period, the instructor debriefed with the students regarding the Unit 8 examination. The instructor explained the Weighted Score formula and the results from the test...and how the range of scores would affect the weight on the creation of the DBQ and Free Response questions on an actual AP US History exam.
Following the examination debrief, the instructor worked with the students on the "hook exercise" over the DBQ on Reconstruction. When finished, the students were divided up into groups of four to examine the Primary Source Documents for next week's essay on "Who Killed Reconstruction...the North or the South"? The students will continue working on their Historical Thinking and Analysis of the documents int heir groups during Thursday's period as well.
Tonight's Homework: Analysis and Research over the Reconstruction documents (Docs A-D)
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!
