14. Qustions. Due Friday, Feb. 13th. by midnight. No late work will be accepted.

Step 1- Read all the comments from the previous assignment.

Step 2- Choose one comment which is thoughtful.

Step 3-

First, paraphrase the comment you are responding to: For example: “Ms. Atkins thinks that…”

Then, write a question about the chosen comment. The question must be: clear, sincere, useful and be the sort of question which leads to more questions. The question you write must complicate the comment’s argument, make the reader of the comment you are questioning think deeper. Stir up some intellectual trouble

Do not ask them, "Is this significant?" this is not a useful question because it is the question which was asked in the previous assignment. If you question the logic behind the student’s argument that a topic is significant, then ask questions which will challenge the student’s assumptions

My question is for Mr.Hasnan. My question is, do u actually think that people would be dying from yellow fever today with all this technology, and new vaccines for everything?

Raymond Jones said...

this question is for Nicholous. If we let the Doves convince us to stop fighting how would we win our indepentence?

Shamala Nelson said...

My question is to Mr. jones. I agree that the war hawks did help save us but can you give more detail and facts of how they saved us. For instance their procedure or plan.

Hassnan Safdar said...

My question is to Muhammad. He said that doves protested aginst wars, and we should protest against wars in 2010. My question is what if some other country attacks how are we going to defend ourselfs.

Miss Ashley Cosme I would like to know how you find James Madison so relevant to today. It is hard to understand how you say “following each others example” but what example are you talking about.

My question is to Nicholas Maddaloni. He said that Benjamin Banaker cleaned the streets of the yellow fever but how was it prevented?

Hello my fellow citizens this question is for Mr.Khamidov.My question to my fellow caoulege is thaT you stated that th Erie canal was used for transport I dont understand why you have stated that if this answer is related to steam power please state so for a better understanding thank you for your kindness.

Steven Domanko said...

My question is for Mr Mikhael.

I do not understand why Benjamin Banneker sticks out. He may have helped make our nations capital, but there were many other accomplishments in the 19th century. Why do you feel that he is the most important.

Catherine Liang said...

To Christie ,

I love your writing but Why do we have to care about Federalist Era ?

Jason says that the Erie canal is a great way to inport and export goods and that planes are using too much money to inport and export goods. If this is the case, how are we going to import and export goods to California or China, or Europe, or South America? The Erie canal is a great way to ship goods to Buffalo and back to New York City. Though Planes are needed to ship goods to other parts of the world.

Mr. Allan, why do you think that we need more roads and other places to use transportation? We already have enough busses, trains, and planes to get where we need to.

My question is to Mr. Furqan. You said that in 2010 you can protest wars.But, how about if they attack us first? We can't stop any other countries from doing a terrorist attack, bombing us, or killing innocent people. When we bombed Pearl Harbor, the Japanese didn't know about it until it happened. We can only protect ourselves as best as we can after the harm has been done. We can't decide we will protest against wars. If they have the weapons, they can still hurt us.How will we protect ourselves then?

Question to: Hassnan Safdar

First of all I would like to say, I really enjoyed reading your essay in was fantastic. I though you put a lot of emotions and feelings in writing about the topic. It was very well written response. I also had few questions about some topics which wrote about. One question which I had was: why do think most of the people would die if there was no cure for Yellow Fever? Because there are different ways which they could have escaped it and moved to other place out the United States .Other question which I have is why do you say ‘’Also because if George Washington didn't win the war between Great Britain, we would not have America? By that I mean they could still protest and win other way because war is not always the best answer. These are the questions which have personality for you.

-Thank You

Question to: Hassnan Safdar and Lejla Neziri

Both of you put similar phrases and I wanted to ask both of a you question. The question which I have is both of you made a statement Nejla said ’’Today, all of the African Americans are free’’. Hassnan said “factories are improved and there are no more slaves’’. Do you think there are Africa American slaves in the world out there and in which country are they kept? I will give an answer to the first part there still slaves left but I want you to find the answer in which parts of the world there are slaves left there are not a lot but it can came up the number of slaves? Please tell your research in class.

-Thank You

Questions to class:

I enjoyed reading everyone’s response they are all put in a lot of work and have a flow.
I have a question to everyone in our class: Do you think that the early 19th century was hungry for inventions by meaning was it the time when everyone wanted to create new things or did they need to create inventions and your own definition ‘’of hungry for inventions’’. Also do you think1810 was the most important and (significant) time in history why or why not? Which time was significant?

Thank You

Nicholas Maddaloni said...

"Miss Frage says that the Erie canal is an excellent source of transporting goods". My question is if the Erie canal transports goods, does the Erie canal have other uses as well?, and if there are other uses what are they and
how many are there?

Lejla Neziri:

Lejjla states that, "But, people keep taking after his lead and we still have a different president every four or eight years."
After stating this, why do you think the past is important to us now? How was the past relevent to George Washington being the best? Since you stated tyhat he was the one who cared most..why do you think that wwhen we had many other presidents after him?

Mikhail Chernositov said...

My question to my fellow friend Raymond Jones. You say that Benjamin Benneker stopped yellow fever for good. My question is how did he stop it. Do you think it will ever come back again?

Muhammad Furqan said...

Mr. Lamar thinks that there were many inventions in 1810. My question to Mr. Lamar is, what were the inventions that were made in 1810? Also what is the Haiti Delegation and why would they have dictators? Also where did Lewis and Clark learn about traveling and trading on boats? These are questions that will help me understand your Essay better. Please answer my questions. Thank You.

My question is for Ashley

Even though steam power was used before why does it mater if we know about it, today trains and boats are mostly run by electricity. So would I actually matter if we knew about steam power.

TO Hassnan Safdar
Hassnan wrote that in the 19th century yellow fever was a very serious disease and that many people died from it . My question to you is why does anyone care that it was a very dangerous disease back then it maters what people think of it now in the 21st century not in the 19th century
