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.

The comment I chose is Imani Clarke. Imani Clarke thinks that studying 1810 will not help us in preparing for the future of 2010. I feel this way because 1810 was in the past and most of our technology that we have today we did get from long ago but I think we already have enough of past inventions, which were investigated. What we should do is get children who have many ideas about new inventions that can help our economy, environment, etc. We should not be copiers but leaders, isn’t that what the U.S.A is known for, for being leaders? I also think after we get all of these ideas together we modify them to a more mature and reasonable level. Just think a 10-year-old boy/girl inventing the next big sensation. But I must say if we did start studying deeper and deeper into the 1810's we would find some resourceful information that could trigger new ideas for 2010. For example look at the shakers there are still 4-7 shakers still alive so we could always find out more information threw them if they are willing to share. Also Tecumseh helped his Shawnee people make peace with the Americans. We can find ways that he thought of to make peace so we could do the same with our "enemies". All of that information might help but I still think that it would be waste of time looking into the year 1810 to try and face the upcoming year 2010
My question to Imani Clarke about her comment is “Why did you think that studying the 19th century won’t prepare us for 2010 won’t the problems and solutions in the 19th century give us some clue of what can happen and fix it before it gets worst in 2010 ” This is my question to Imani Clarke comment.
THE comment i chose is Tara Mango. Tara thinks that studing 1810 is a waste of time.I don’t understand how we could work on things that have happened in the past and make them better for 2010. Their is nothing we can do to help the future that’s the future and the past is the past their are many things people regret but something that happened in 1810 honestly can not help us now because their are many things we still do not know that happened and we need more evidence to find them. We need to work on making things better for now and deal with 2009 before dealing with 2010.
My qustion is that if we got information from the past we can't just ignore it and if we solve it won't it just hlp us instead of causing mischeif?
The comment i choose was Marwa Fedda. Ms.Fedda said "I think that since many events have occurred in the 19 Th century it will surly help us survive in the 21 Th because it has had a very large impact and toll on our society and the families and people in them.
Somethings that we have reacted to in the wrong way that have demolished our nation is fighting Britain, bringing slaves to America witch transmitted disses and trading with other countries witch also made sicknesses spreed that we where not aware of.
I think that our new studies are going to try to improve this country health and the nation so our future and present will all matter thanks to our past we are going to cure or God willing get rid of sicknesses and prevent them from recurring."
My question to Ms.Fedda is "Have any of these diseases have found a cure to them and besides diseases what other things that occured in the 19th century and 21st help us study and prepare us for the future?".
The comment I agree with is Michelle N., she's right we should and should not care about 1810 because some of the things that happen were just not relevant but some of the events such as yellow fever and free African society were very important.
The comments I would choose are comments like Imani's and Tara's they say that 1810 can't really prepare us for 2010, and its a waste of time, but it can. We can learn from our mistakes and take action for current and future issues. Looking in the past is like re-reading a book your bound to pick up on something new. My question to them is "do you really think 1810 won't help us for 2010? (there's way more to it then you think)
The comment I chose was Richards.
Richard said that "1810 was the starting point where important people were born. The horrible disease that killed many people is called Yellow Fever. The erie canal back then was the easiest way for transportation for googds. The Haition Delacation and the Free African Society gave courage to african americans.Now days there are more advanced methods but those methods wouldn't exist if it wasn't for 1810."
My question for Richard is couldn't we study 1811 or even 1809? Its only 1 year differences i highly disagree that if it wasn't for 1810 no one would come up with those methods.
The comment I chose was Imani Clarke. Imani Clarke mentioned that studying 1810 will not help us in preparing for the future in 2010. I respectfully disagree with Imani's response, Everything we use today was invented in that time period except got more safisticated. I agree with one thing Imani wrote, she said that we should get many children with ideas to help build our economy and etc. I find this useful because we would not have to rely on outside labor such as china, mexico and other factory producing countries. Instead we should help our economy grow and employ more citizens that need jobs.
My question for Imani Clarke is if we do not look back at the inventions of the 18-1900s how would we know what to make more high tech in the society we now live in.
The comment that I chose to question is Imani Clarke's. Imani says that studying the 1800's and the 1900's won't help us in preparing for the future of 2010. She said: "I feel this way because 1810 was in the past and most of our technology that we have today we did get from long ago, but I think we already have enough of the past inventions which were investigated. We shouldn't be copiers, but rather leaders, because isn't that what the U.S. is about? What we should do is we should get children with many ideas that will help us. I think that after we get the ideas and modify them to a more mature, reasonable level. Just think of a 10 year old boy/girl inventing the next big thing. I must say that studying deeper and deeper into the 1810's we'd find some resourceful information that could give us an idea or ideas for 2010. All that information might help but I still think it would be a waste of time looking into the year 1810 to try and face the upcoming 2010." I disagree with Imani when she says studying 1810 won't help us to face this year and the year 2010.
My questions to Imani Clarke's comment are:
"Do you or do you not think that studying the 1800's will help us face the year 2010?"
"If you don't, then why don't you think so when many things originate from back then, and there are probably some other things to learn or pick up from that time period?"
"Even if we do copy from others, can't we take the ideas we copied and change them in some way such as combining them with other ideas?"
Those are my questions for Imani Clarke's comment.
The comment I would strongly ask a a question to is Richard. Richard clearly stated:1810 was the starting point where important people were born. The horrible disease that killed many people is called Yellow Fever. The erie canal back then was the easiest way for transportation for googds. The Haition Delacation and the Free African Society gave courage to african americans.Now days there are more advanced methods but those methods wouldn't exist if it wasn't for 1810.
My question to Richard is: How is 1810 the starting point where important people were born? George Washington, Thomas Jefferson are both important people they weren't born in 1810.
I choes Lionso Bienaime he said there were many events occurring during both the 18th and 19th century, during those years many things were going on such as war, new religions, racial issues, having rights to vote and etc. During those years we learned many things about America and what it could do during critical times. The reason why we should care about what happened years ago is because, we can find something that can help us today that we didn't see before. Also it's shows that just because we overcame some hardships in the past it doesn't mean they can't come back.(these events prepare us for things to come)"Change can come but so can destruction".
My question to Lionso Bienaime is what kind of thing are going to help us war, new religions, racial issues, having rights to vote and more.
The comment i choose was richards. This is what he said. richard said...
1810 was the starting point where important people were born. The horrible disease that killed many people is called Yellow Fever.

The Haition Delacation and the Free African Society gave courage to african americans.Now days there are more advanced methods but those methods wouldn't exist if it wasn't for 1810.
Most of the stuff he is saying is true. But richard, what about the other years? Didn't those years contribute to anything? Instead of studying only one year, shouldn't we study all the other years?
My question is, instead of just studying one year and calling it the breaking year, couldn't we study other years?
The comment that i chose is Tara's comment. I totally disagree with what she believes. She thinks it would be waste of time to study the past for the future. She says we need more evidence to work on them but i believe that studying the "evidence" of the past could definitely help us out in so many ways. The past events can always prepare us for the future. Like making a mistake in the past could prevent you from making the same mistake in the future.
The comment I chose is Ciera Corley. Ciera's comment was: The events of 1810 can most likely prepare us for the future. Before the 1800's life wasn't exactly easy. With out the new inventions and new leaders of the country the present would not be the same.
For example, The Industrial Revolution. With out half the inventions of the 19th century it would be hard to find a job, transportation would be a mess, work in the fields would be harder and communication would take a long time to get something through. Another example is the yellow fever. New diseases always throw a nation off track. If we look back, almost 20,000 people died. We need to be prepared for things like these and i think that looking in the past could definitely prepare us.
So i do believe that 1810 could prepare us for 2010
My question to her is, do you think we can still live on without studying the 1810s? why or no why not?
My question is to Richard who asked me a question. He wrote...
My qustion is that if we got information from the past we can't just ignore it and if we solve it won't it just hlp us instead of causing mischeif?
First of all we can take the info from the past but what does it have to do with 2010?
The comment I chose was Richards. In his statement he said that many important people were born in 1810. He also talked about the Erie canal and the yellow fever. I disagree with the fact that that there were many important people born in 1810. George Washington was not born in 1810 and he is very important to our country for the changes that he had made. Also how can the people who invented these things born in 1810 if that’s when they had invented it. My question to Richard is that who were the many important people born in 1810?
Please excuse this asignment that was done late the reason for this is i thought it was due during the vacation.My question is toward dennis why do you feel that the cannal is so important to our groing economy.i Feel that the steam power engine will soon surpas that of the cannal.
i disagree with imani because i believe that 1810 can help us today.like with hamilton's plan.it can help us today because we are in debt now.
The comment I chose was Isaia.
"i believe that hamilton's plan can prepare us for today.we were in debt now and we were in debt then.i believe we should use this to prepare us going forward in the future."
I have a question for you: How Hamilton`s plan can help our country? Is it only Hamilton`s plan significant for today?
Ms.Frederickm, can I have your e-mail address because my father wants to talk to you. His e-mail address is qing206@msn.com
