People used social media in a way that went far beyond knowing how to click and deep into civic uses and navigating ways to communicate with others under the radar of a communication-hindering government.
I agree with this statement because social media has grown to be so much more than just opinions being expressed. Social media now has went as far as persuading people on who to vote for. This is the way the use social media to "communicate with others under the radar".

being passionate and hard-working — is an important trait that predicts student achievement.
Final Annotation- We agree with this statement because it takes effort and dedication to become successful. In our opinion, effort and dedication starts with determination. Without, these characteristics of dedication, you become unmotivated. Being passionate about something for example being in college, determines how much time and energy you put into perfecting your work. For instance, having superb study habits leads to advanced test scores. Oppose to a student who doesn’t take the time to prepare for their upcoming exam.

not just when they have a test, but all the time, instead of discussing the much less interesting things that make up small talk. (
This statement is extremely important in my eyes because students are all different like the author was stating. Some students are faster learners compared to the rest so some need to study the information more than others. Some students have the ability to learn just in the classroom ad don't have to spend a much time studying while other students have to make up "small task" in order for them to gain a better understanding.

So the questions are usually very specific but, obviously, questions about which reasonable people can disagree – and about which I can expect disagreement in the class – and which require the giving of reasons.
In my opinion, asking specific questions are a great way to not only get students involved but to help students gain a better understanding of the key concepts.

The imaginary community with the past can thus serve as a comfortable alternative to critical awareness and self-questioning, allowing us to borrow prestige from our adoptive ancestors, and to dignify the present by illegitimate association with the past.'
This statement shows how the community brings about awareness with one another in order to connect with the past.

One way in which numbers of the new social historians made them- selves at home in the past was by projecting modernity backwards, finding anticipations of the present in the past.
This sentence caught my eye because it explain what the did in order to make themselves at home. I agree they trued whatever they could in order to relate the present in the past

The purpose of studying history or literature or chemistry is not to acquire generic skills. Instead, we care about skills such as critical thinking or analytical ability because they enable students to have better insights and ideas, and to gain more from the subjects they study
This statement is correct in my opinion. I agree with these sentences because, you study history in order to gain knowledge.

The first has to do with the “scientific” aspect of sociology or, rather, the empirical aspect. According to the hegemonic narrative, it was the Chicago School that innovated: the sociologists of Chicago were the first to go into communities, observe, collect data, and then systematically analyze it.
This miniature paragraph caught my attention because it was recognizing data I wasn't familiar with. I wasn't aware the sociologists of Chicago first went into communities. I was never informed the sociologist ever even went into communities. I always assumed they just gathered data and analyzed. Therefore , this is interesting because it taught me important information i never knew about.
