Your First AP US History Hoffblog Homework Assignment!

Welcome aboard . . . let the games begin!

The 10 Point Assignment, Due by 11:59pm Monday August 29, 2011

1) Choose your favorite USA historical person of all time (historical means they were somebody before you were born) . . . the catch is that his or her first or last initial has to be the same as your first or last initial!
2) Think about why he or she is your favorite.
3) Find your favorite quote from that person (or at least attributed to him or her, even if he or she did not actually say it).
4) Follow these directions for full credit (10 points):
A. Go to the comment section for this post.
B. Give the person's name.
C. Explain why that person is your favorite historical figure . . . keep it clean!
D. Write that person's quote (put it in quotes!) . . . again with the keeping it clean!
E. Write your first name, last initial (only!), and your class period.
F. Use proper grammar, spelling, etc.
G. Make sure you go through the whole word verification process (typing the misshapen word).
H. MOST IMPORTANTLY, MAKE SURE YOUR CHOICE IS UNIQUE . . . FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED! Have a backup person just in case "great minds think alike."

If your comment/choice does not get posted in a timely fashion, or gets posted and then disappears, see me in class ASAP so we can figure out what went wrong!

Good Luck!
