THEME: Language and Power Educators and Adult Learners: We are looking for lessons, activities, and student writings about the ways in which we speak, read, and write (what languages we speak, how we use and understand words, how others speak to us, etc.) can include certain people but leave others out. Some questions to think about: o What ways of speaking do people use in different situations and why? o What experiences have you had using different languages (for example from other cultures, or from other disciplines like math, art, etc.)? o In what ways are people judged by the way they speak? What do you think about this? o Should there be a law making English the official language of the United States? Why or why not? * What are some ways that the power of language can be used to resolve differences, build peace, and develop community? All articles must be received by November 15, 2002. All articles will be considered. Final decisions are made by The Change Agent Editorial Board. Please send material (preferably by email) to: Angela Orlando World Education 44 Farnsworth Street Boston, MA 02210 tel: 617-482-9485fax: 617-482-0617 email: aorlando@worlded.org All articles will be considered.
