Your Task: Write an essay explaining what you think it means to be American.
Guidelines:
- This can be a personal essay, an essay of definition, a descriptive essay, or a persuasive essay.
- In addition to development, language use, organization, and development, you will also be graded on the sophistication of your ideas. This can be a complicated question. We are reading several texts that make different assertions about what it means to be American (Walt Whitman, Langston Hughes, Barack Obama’s “State of the Union,” the article on the Seneca Nation) and we expect you to consider all of these sources, as well as your prior learning and lived experiences, as you attempt to answer this question.
- Due Thursday, February 17th
