Gullah history/fact would make a great segment on our fact of the day program. <BR/><BR/>In case you didn't know, Knowitall.org has Gullah Net (http://www.knowitall.org/gullahnet/)- which includes: Gullah tales, history, music, and other resources. It is targeting younger grades, but I think high school kids would still find it fun and interesting.hloyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671731508700289813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1501889564209071919.post-57642325565868957342009-02-08T11:03:00.000-05:002009-02-08T11:03:00.000-05:00This is GREAT.

I have a student in my school (we are close to Myrtle Beach, SC)who was raised in the Gullah area, and he carries a strong "accent" if you want to call it that. He is extremely self conscious about it, so speaks out VERY LITTLE. Recently his 8th grade social studies teacher was showing a video clip of Geechie's using the Gullah vernacular. This students was laughing hysterically at the jokes and innuendos that were occurring during the clip--and none of the rest of te class could follow b/c they did not and could not understand. The student felt like the smartest student in the class for the day as he tried to share what was so funny in the video. <BR/><BR/>I learned that these students form this area who relocate to even other parts of SC have a very hard time acclimating to different areas of our state of SC. It truly is like speaking a foreign language.Cathy Jo Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05447948600689461534noreply@blogger.com
