Before you begin your blogging journey, Go to The Chicago History Museum and read the bio of Studs Terkel
Over the next 11 weeks, you will write nine blog posts. Each of these will be responses to specific stories found in Terkel’s My American Century. Enjoy your reading and writing!!
What goes in a Blog Post?
- First thoughts on the story you heard/read
- Important details about the story
- Key Text—and your specific response to that text
- What questions raised by the story?
- Connections to American history/ideas
- Check for audio versions of the interview and describe what's different about hearing it rather than reading it.
The young people in our US History classes are the next generation of what we hope will be active members of American society. Whether they become active voters, communicate regularly with elected officials, or simply have discussions with other people, students need to be informed and learn to express themselves properly in the public domain. The student blogs linked to this site will be a prime example of students doing just that.
