Famous Quote Homework: Perseverance

Our study of literature for this semester evolves around the theme of perseverance. In doing so, our studies will take place around three essential questions:
1. What is perseverance?
2. How does one persevere? In other words, what qualities might a person need in order to persevere?
3. Does the ability to persevere always ensure a happy ending?

As a way to understand the meaning of perseverance, the students have been assigned the task of finding a quote regarding perseverance, or a quality of perseverance (bravery, tenacity, stamina, endurance, moxie, determination, etc.). They will then create a single document that contains the following:

1. quote: must be from a person (living or deceased), and not from a fictional character, or a line from a song or poem.

2. the student's interpretation of the quote

3. The name of the person who coined the quote

4. The person's date of birth/death (if applicable)

5. A piece of information about the person (this piece of information must come from a reliable online source)

6. The person's picture

The students must also complete a CRAAP worksheet, determining the level of reliability of the online information they have gathered about the person.

Printing: the students can either use their Chrome Books, or home computer. If using their Chrome Book they can either save the document to a flash drive and print it out in the school library, or they can connect their Chrome Book to their home printer and print from there.  SEE INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETE ASSIGNMENT DETAILS!!!
