my topic for the paper
i think i'm doing my paper on Delpits and Jordan's essays. Basically the topic is broken down to what is accepted in the US; standard/non-standard english. I'm going to use Jordan's essay using the Black English vs. Standard English and the dilemma of what should be taught as proper english in schools. It's all kinda connected to literacy in America, what is politically correct and what is accepted. What is taken seriously and what isn't. Im also going to use Delpits essay; progressive education versus fellow black educators...im still in the grey area of what i'm going to actually be doing for this essay...yeaaa....

That topic definitly is involved in literacy. I think that is a really good topic to choose. It almost makes me want to change my topic. I wonder how many other kinds of "english's" there are besides black english or slang english. Also you could then incorperate culture and the causes and effects it has on literacy. Good luck with your paper it sounds like it will be interesting.
