Discussion Post: Virginia History
Discuss 3 prominent Virginians we have looked at so far in our course. What were their contributions to Virginia and/or the United States? Do you believe lasting fame is justified? Why or why not?
In your replies to your classmates, play devil's advocate by challenging their stated positions with reasonable and articulate counter-arguments. A skilled debater is able to debate both sides of a topic, regardless of personal belief, so even if you agree with your classmate's opinion, your response needs to thoughtfully offer a different view. Your goal should be to start a discussion where a variety of opinions are deliberated and weighed.
The response should include a reference list. Using one-inch margins, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space and APA style of writing and citations.
