Welcome to the blog on teaching about and in Appalachia hosted by English education students in a teacher education program in West Virginia. On this blog, we share our thoughts, hopes, and tensions in preparing to use literature and mass media to engage middle and secondary students with the current and historical issues residents of West Virginia and Appalachia face. We also share our reviews of films and novels set in Appalachia on their potential applicability to the secondary English classroom.

Please check out our posts and join in the discussions!
