QUEST MONDAY - CHAP. 3, SEC. 4&5

STUDY up this weekend. Your can find the worksheet with terms and focus questions by clicking here. (Quest Worksheet)

Index cards will be worth extra credit. A complete set with all the terms, questions, and the definitions is worth 6 points for classes 700 - 709. For classes 721 and 721, index cards are worth 5 points.

CONGRATULATIONS! To Joshua, Jessica, Dencil, Deborah, Bryan, and Vinson from 721. They correctly answered the Final Jeopardy answer:
  • Two reason why the colonists were upset by the Stamp tax.
  • They correctly identified that the colonists 1) should not be taxed without representations and 2) that the colonists enjoyed freedom to govern themselves before the Stamp Tax.

They won with a score of 3700 - nice job.

Some students have emailed me about the focus QUESTIONS on the WORKSHEET. Use your textbook as the initial source of information to help you craft your answers. But we discussed the answers to these questions thoroughly in class. The point of studying is to find the best answers on your your own, and be prepared to use them on the quest.

In the future, if any of you are not sure how to answer a question, send me your answer first, and than we'll work on making it better. Emails of course, unless you want anyone from class to offer suggestions. Which, come to think of it would work as well.

  8. Beatrice,
    The quest will be easy if you completed all your homework, paid attention to the movie, participated in class discussions, and wrote answers to social studies questions.

    grem3496,
    please identify yourself somewhere so I know who you are - otherwise I won't be able to post your comments. These definitions were previously given in class. Perhaps someone out there can post these definitions for grem and others.

  9. the test is not easy because of the quotes you added
    and how did Mariya's group win jeopardy in 722?

  10. I agree with Betty. those quote questions were very hard even if you were paying attention to the video, its hard to recall what 7 or 8 different people said.

    This is true Beatrice, but the quotes were a test of whether you knewwho these people were. If you had a general idea of the person's life/beliefs, you could have picked up on the clues in his quote. Not easy to do, but this was certainly a fair test of understanding.

  12. I thought the test was fair. Some of the quotes were difficult, though.
