Barack Obama

Welcome to blogging!  It is fun and like fb messaging, you will be able to communicate with your peers about the literature we read in class.  On Monday we had a Socratic Seminar based on the text Barack Obama by Nikki Grimes.  You had some interesting questions and from them I chose one that seemed quite popular amongst the two ESL groups.  Do you agree that Barack Obama is the first black president of the United States?  Please state your thesis and give your evidence.  You will see that the blog mirrors the socratic seminar discussion and these form the structure of the Open Response.
