Quick-Write What is knowledge? Why do we value it? How have you gained knowledge in your life thus far? In what ways is knowledge important to you?

Agree or Disagree It is better to know than not to know. Questions are an essential part of knowledge. Failure should be prevented or avoided. Ignorance is bliss.
