Stories Our Grandparents Told Us

Abstract

This is a research project conducted using critical discourse analysis to study themes and patterns of discourse in African American and Hispanic American student essays about stories they were told by their family. We found that nine themes characterized African American student essays. There was some overlap between African American and Hispanic American discourse about stories they were told by their family but there were major differences between African American student discourse and Hispanic American student discourse about stories they were told by their family.
