Today’s lesson is based on two different thoughts on education from two fairly intelligent people.
Students will analyze & interpret what each means, then compare which one is more like their view of education. I expect a vibrant discussion!
To wrap up this portion of the lesson, students will then write their own philosophy.
MAKE NO SMALL PLANS 
i like both of the qutes they were cool
I had a fun time writing quotes in Social Studies. I was hard and easy at the same time.
I thought these quotes were very interesting and taught me that if you don’t study with desire then don’t bother studying.

I think that this Social studies class should be fun and that Mr. little will help us get though it easy. Sabastian Thornton- 8 period
This was really cool to learn about old sayings. Also who wrote them.
period 8
The quotes were visibly well thought out and obviously weren’t swiftly pulled from thin air. I liked the discussion contemplating the definition of them, as they could be interpreted differently according to one’s own experiences and opinions.
Period 6
I Thought the quotes were very profound. I liked to inquire upon what they meant and that we got to make our own quotes.
Stephen Kubik p.6
I had a great day today in Social Studies with the quote discussions. I never knew the word “quote” can get everyone to have a discussions. The two quotes in class today really made me think about each word and how many ways in can be interpreted. I tried writing my own quote, but it is probably not even close to being like the ones I saw today in class. I usually never have anything to say in Social Studies but today I felt like I really learned something today.
I enjoyed dissecting the quotes today in class. It was fun making up our own quotes and I can’t wait for social studies tomorrow!!! :)

Analyzing quotes is something I’ve never really done before, and it’s fun. I hope we do more of it later in the year.

I enjoyed the quotes Because it really got your brain flowing. I learned that if you want to study you will learn better than not wanting to study because it will be boring and you won’t learn.

For the first quote i thought it ment that you shouldn’t let the things you know interfere with the things you learn.
period 8 sorry!
The quotes we discussed today in Social Studies class has kept me thinking. I enjoyed the idea of you letting us make our own quotes. This idea helped me think about the depths of eduacation and learning. I now know that I will use the quotes we learned today for my future years in school. Even though it has only been two days of school, Social Studies has been one of my favorite classes.
Period 6
I really liked righting the quotes today because it was fun thinking of how to have school and something else tied together
