In the past there has always been some balking at the assignment, but it was usually because the topic was something that the students couldn't fully understand. This topic offered to be so straight forward, but there is such a negative vibe about everything. The good news was that I had several students come up with some great examples and things to say. Good luck with the speech.M Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996793619358642964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155590504808612868.post-60122310054359767632013-10-23T08:01:46.553-07:002013-10-23T08:01:46.553-07:00WOW!!

I just had a student doing research for his Voice of Democracy essay say "Ms. White, you need to read this blog. It sound exactly like you wrote it!" <br />So I dutifully read this blog and my student was correct. I said the exact same things to my class that you have written here. When we began this project, I told my students that the theme this year was ironic, but assured them that it had been picked long before the drama with the government began this year. I also had them to talk to three adults to get some ideas. Sadly, very few adults had anything positive to say. You have given me hope that there are more of us with a positive hope for our children's future.<br />LitTcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03194490003203269384noreply@blogger.com
