Welcome to my blog created to help provide practice for my AP English Language students.
A few years ago, in a French history class at Texas Tech University, I became fascinated with the voices of others. It seems that prior to the French Revolution, the middle class, bourgeoisie, began to discover their voices. More and more of the working class began recording their lives, their thoughts, and their memoirs. Seamstresses, farmers, and factory workers desired to have their voice heard. What occurred in that period of French history is not unlike what has occurred recently with the advent of blogs and social media. Again, different classes of people have begun to seek out space to record their voices for all the world to hear.
With the blog assignment, I hope to encourage my students to share their voices. I want them to share their thoughts and opinions on what has occurred in the world and what is currently happening in it. They have a voice, and their voice matters.
