Students choose from over two hundred quotations (from both famous and everyday
people) and then either defend or refute the quotation, according to how they view
life.
Lively discussion can precede or follow the journal entry, making for a more
spirited and engaging classroom atmosphere. Here are some sample quotations:
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort,
but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. -Martin Luther King, Jr.
He who laughs, lasts. -Mary Pettibone Poole
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please
everybody. -Bill Cosby
If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes
taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. -Anne Bradstreet
Common sense is not so common. -Voltaire
Every nation has the government it deserves. -Joseph De Maistre |
