American Literature for August 13-17

Post date: Aug 13, 2018 12:37:5 AM

Here's an overview of the week ahead:

  • We will continue to work toward building a definition of the American Dream this week, reading another excerpt from a speech by FDR, viewing images related to that speech, viewing The Pursuit of Happyness (sic) and reading several poems related to the American Dream.

  • Our vocabulary quiz will be on Wednesday. See a previous post for a Quizlet that will help you review. We'll do one more activity related to the words in class on Tuesday as well.

Use these links to browse a variety of links to images of iconic moments from American history and select the image you will share and write about.
