IT'S TIME FOR A BRAIN TEASER

CRYPTOQUOTE

A cryptogram is a type of puzzle that consists of a short piece of encrypted text. Generally, the cipher used to encrypt the text is simple enough that the cryptogram can be solved by hand. A cryptoquote on the other hand, is a cryptogram that uses a quote to be ciphered.


Visit my blog to learn how to crack a cryptoquote by clicking the preview below.

CIPHER A CRYPTOQUOTE

Check your Google Classroom to see which cryptoquote you are going to cipher. I attached a list.

The cryptoquotes to answer are found in my blog.

I also have created a video so that you would see how I cracked a cryptoquote.

LABEL THE QUOTE

Copy the quote you have ciphered then label the parts of speech it is composed of. A sample is shown in the image above.

CONGRATULATIONS!

YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THE TASKS FOR THE WEEK.

THOUGHTS TO PONDER

Wise ideas or deep thoughts come from varied experiences. I mean to say that you can only say a thing or two about something if you have understood it pretty well based on how you experience it. Your brain teaser activity is one experience you have to go through to jump-start you brain for more meaningful experiences amidst this pandemic. I could have just easily given you the quotes so that you can label them immediately but life is not like that. There are things that you need to work hard for in order to achieve. Had I given you the quote, I would have stripped you the chance to discover. Without discovery, life is dull and meaningless. DISCOVERY GIVES FULFILLMENT.
