Quotes

Quote responses will be done through the "discussion" page provided above.

Part of the grade for World History is accessing a quote from a famous person in history through Mr. Bell's Wiki page. The quote will be posted on the first day of a new chapter. Each student will be expected to make at least one educated response to the quote. An educated response will have evidence of the following items within the response:

1. Who was the person? (What did the author of the quote do for a living? What type of lifestyle did the author have? etc.) 2. What do you believe the quote means? (Analyze the quote. Understand the language of the quote and explain what it means.) 3. Why do you believe the person stated this quote? (Understanding the time period and the world that existed at the time of the author, what motivated the author to state the quote?) You don't have to write an answer to all the questions provided in the parenthesis. These questions are there to help organize your thoughts.

There will also be an additional prompt to consider when responding to the quote. The additional prompt will be explained in more detail with the quote.

DO NOT attempt to reply through "Post Topic". You need to click on the quote for the chapter and "Reply" to the quote.

DO NOT abuse the web page. Any posted items without correct identification will be erased. Students who use inappropriate language or use their posts as a means to demean other students will have their post deleted and he/she will receive a zero for a score.

DO NOT copy another person's response. You must post your original idea. If someone else has posted a repsonse you agree with or that is similar to yours, you must explain why you agree with the person in your own words. Simplying agreeing with previous posts will not earn you points.
