Big Question

WHY is the English language the official language in the United States of America?

  1. "How" will focus your research on procedural issues like debate, voting, etc. "Why" will lead you to a rationale and comparisons with other language choices. Will you focus on one, the other, or both?

  2. This question ties in really well with the chronicles we read earlier in this semester. I've wondered the same thing and am interested to see what you find!

  3. Dania: Yes, I think you're right. But if it was from England, why don't we have the English accents that they do?

    Dr. Preston: I think the "why" is a better question instead of "how". I will change that. Thank you.

    Ari: I know! I'm excited to learn WHY it is the official language.
