- Abstract
The article describes an educational project that can be used to teach regional diversity in speech in the United States. By assigning students different sections of the book "How to Talk American: A Guide to Our Native Tongues," by J. Crotty, students will learn about diversity in the United States. Students can perform a skit based on the section they read in which they speak like the people they read about. The audience can guess what region or section the students are representing in their skits.
