Veterans+Day+-+Optional+X+Credit

= If you had me for a teacher before, you will remember reading an article about Pat Tillman. Since I do this with my students on Veteran's Day, I figure I will provide access to students in this class who have not read the article. The link is below.= []

==‍ Anyone who wants to do this optional wiki will recieve extra credit either in term one or term two (their choice - but if you want it for term one - this has to be done by next Tuesday, for term two no deadline yet). If you have had me as teacher before and still want extra credit, you are also welcome to do this assignment - but please re read the article, do not depend on your memory.==

‍
==‍1. Do you think that Pat Tillman and the US government had different ideas about what patriotism meant?==

==‍2. Define irony. Is there anything ironic about how Pat Tillman wanted to be remembered and how the US government wanted him to be remembered?==

==‍3. The second article spends a lot of time on the controversy of Pat Tillman's death, but what can we all learn from the way that Pat lived his life?==

==‍Number your answers so that they correspond with the numbers of the questions.==

==‍COMMENT on at least 2 other people's posts - choose the question/answer you want to comment on - or comment on more than one. MAKE SURE your comments are why you agree or disagree with the post, adding something new to the post - not simply saying you agreee with the person and repeating what they wrote.==

==‍COMMENT on at on least 1 other person's comment on another person's post. This means you find where Sally commented on John's ideas - then you either agree or disagree with what Sally wrote about John's ideas and you explain why. What ends up happening is a long line of comments - like a conversation - that is the idea!==
