What does it mean to be an American? As we've discussed, there are a million different ways to answer this question. You can tell a story about something that happened to you. Or you can focus on a few key characteristics and develop an idea. You can write about what it doesn't mean to be an American. All we ask is that you be thoughtful, creative, complex, interesting, and blow our doors off.
As usual, if you need help we are both here to read drafts, conference, etc. Feel free to Google the question and find other resources to help you figure it out. Lastly, if you need to see some samples, visit Teen Ink and look at the nonfiction or opinion sections to see some stellar writing.
