2 interesting topics

The first topic that I choose is the Cherokee Phoenix--I choose this topic because it was really neat to read about how the Native Americans really took a stand for themselves and tried to fight for what they believe in. The outcome of their work published a newspaper in 1828 that is still current today and that is really neat. I liked the fact that one of these resources actually allows you to read the Cherokee Phoenix and see what its all about. The other resource that I choose was really interesting to find out just how long this actuall paper has been published and what they went through to get this paper published and to keep their language current 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherokee_Phoenix

The second topic that I choose was the Committee of Ten. I wanted to find out a little more information on this committee. Like 'what they did, how were they choosen, when did it become apparent that there was a need for educational standardization? Who recommended this committtee? What did the committee do, what did it establish?' The two resources I used:
1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Committee_of_Ten
2. http://en.books.google.com/books (search Committee of Ten)
I choose the second resource because it allows you to actually see an old copy of the Committee of Ten book. It is an actual copy and it explains; who was on the committee, the conferences, the questions for the conferences, the composition of the conferences,and the members that were on the actual committee, its a really interesting site.
