Unit 1
What is the American Dream?
Embedded Files
In Unit 1, students explore the idea of the American Dream as they analyze arguments from different perspectives. Students are introduced to texts by Rodolfo Gonzales, America Ferrera, Thomas Jefferson, Beverly Daniel Tatum, John Steinbeck and others. Students will generate an argument of their own as they define the American Dream by synthesizing ideas from sources used throughout the unit. The unit culminates with an exhibition as students create a dream board illustrating life dreams.
