february 21

Today is our chat with Pennsylvania State Senator Daylin Leach.  My questions for Senator Leach have to do with language, politics, and digital culture.  If you have specific questions or ideas please comment to this post.  Or pass me a note in class. :)

Your journal topic for today is reflection on the conversation.  What did you learn?  What did you think about while you listened?  What does politics matter in your life, and how might you take a more active role in shaping things to come?  How can you use social media for the purpose?

    1. To go into more depth to your question, Hilary has been 1st lady, secretary of state and Senator. All Trump has is his business and now his presidency. Why would people vote for a man with no political experience to be our president?

  11. As a small city, a small school, and one classroom with a bunch of 16/17 yr olds, what do you think we could do to express our opinions and change things without letting the fire get out of control? (Fight fire with gasoline right?, how can we control it?)

  15. This isn't a question, but rather an observation. The youth seems very involved in politics nowadays. I didn't see this in the last election.
