Today, the instructor worked with the students on how to brainstorm a DBQ or Free Response Essay (using the Great Depression DBQ as an example) in a short few minutes, thus allowing for more time to write the essay under a timed situation. The instructor used ideas and thoughts from the students to show them how to structure an Introduction, Create Body Paragraphs and Transitions from "bucketed categories" and finally, finish your thoughts with a Conclusion. The purpose of today's activity is to synthesize the curriculum from the Great Depression and World War II economics in a way that builds understanding while also gaining mastery of how to shorten your essay planning into finished product in a shorter span of time.

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!
