Welcome to World History with Mr. Pugsley!
After a decade working in electoral politics in Oregon and beyond, I decided to become a teacher after performing with my son in the Corvallis High School production of FIddler on the Roof a few years back. I got to sing and dance and lived to tell about it.
You will find a weekly calendar of assignments on this page for each class that I teach, in addition to resources for students to use for specific projects.
Please contact me with any questions that you may have about curriculum or assignments, and I am always open to suggestions on how to improve this site.

LAST COOL PLACE VISITED
Last summer I traveled with my family to Alaska and it was my first time. It was fascinating to visit a place with both native and Russian and American history all in one place.
