The Writing Process
Posted by Brittany Paul | Posted in | Posted on 11:29 AM
Now that I have completed my African American Literature paper, it time to buckle down to start writing my story for this project.
Honestly, I am super nervous about my story because my Professor, Mrs. Walker, has so much pride in my writing. She considers me a very strong writer and wants my skills to be pushed to the next level. I know I can do it, but with all this pressure put on me, I am scared to fail.
This Student Movement project, I feel, is going to be the start of my journalism career. Even at a young age, I knew that I wanted a career that involved me writing all the time. Now as a sophomore in college, I can actually see that light at the end of the road!
I want to write this story from a student looking at the movements throughout the years. I want to explain how these movements affect the students of today and show that if was not for these fearless people, our rights as students would be very limited.
I want to begin with the most influential student movement of this century: the 1960's civil rights sit-ins. Beginning with the first one in Greensboro, NC, I then want to take a trip throughout that movement and show the courage these student had at this time.
Many do not know that Texas Southern University played a part in the civil rights movement. Houston was also segregated at the time and 13 students from this university sought out to make a change. I want to highlight the TSU 13 in my story and show my fellow TSU students that we too can make a change.
Showing how these movements paved the way for other major student movements, I am going to talk about major student led protest such as the Vietnam War and Tienanmen Square. Moving on to today, I'm will show how students made 2008 election of Barack Obama as President a huge success and how the protest against the tuition raise at UC Berkeley are very important. We, as students, need to see that these movements are still effective today.
This writing process for this story is going to test my skills, but I feel it will benefit me in such a positive way.
