Blog Topic

Ok ladies and gentlemen, it is now your turn.

This week's topic is for you to come up with a blog topic for Texas History.  You can look at the previous posts I have used for a guideline.  You will need to be specific and you will need to pick a topic that at least 65 people can respond to in an original fashion.

You will need:
1) Your Topic
2) Outline of what is required
3) Specify if you need a citation or source

Complete posts this week will remain while incomplete posts (including misspellings, capitalization and grammar errors) will be removed.

Any time frame from our course this year will apply.

Remember this is a short week, so stay on track.

-Mrs. Buchanan

    1. You are limiting your topic to an activist being in a group. Not all activists were in a group nor were they all recorded. Maybe double check how many would fit this criteria to make sure you have enough.

      Also, this topic has already been posted (very similar) above. Double check before re-posting.
