We have spent several days reading about and discussing Paul Revere. We have also discussed character traits that many of our "heroes" share in common (diligence, courage, leadership, respect for authority, patriotism, willingness to speak out, etc...)

For this blog post, I would like you to choose 3 of Paul Revere's character traits and give an example of how he used each trait to help him succeed or to help others. Include specific details in your response, and please remember to include your first name or initials.

Responses are due by Friday, Dec. 16

Your post will be evaluated on the following:
1. Complete, well-written sentences
2. Appropriate examples to support your ideas
3. Answering the question
4. Conventions (spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization)

Paul Revere was born in December of 1734. He worked as a silversmith,an engraver, a soldier, and a mail-carrier for the Sons of Liberty. One of his most famous objects was the Liberty Bowl. As a member of the Sons of Liberty,he started a boycott of the British tea. This was later known as the Boston Tea Party. On the night of April 18,1775, Paul Revere took his most famous ride of his life, which would be later known as the Midnight Ride. The purpose of that was to warn people that the British soldiers were coming. The ride was successful and the Revolutionary War began. Rajath

Paul Revere has so many character traits. Here are a few examples leadership, diligence, and courage. He gave leadership by leading the patriots of Boston to win the American Revolutionary War. He gave diligence by being a silversmith and he needed a lot diligence to carve the engraving to teapots, bowls, and other stuff like that. He gave courage by saying that someday the British would stop ruling the United States of America. Those are some of Paul Revere's charter traits. HCC

Paul Revere was a very talented man with lots of skills. He had many jobs. His main job was a silversmith which is someone that makes things out of silver like a teapot. He also had the talent to have bravery. He used his bravery when he warned everyone that the British were coming. It allowed people to get ready for them or to leave to a safe place. His brave act has gone down in history and made his name well known. ARH
