These are some of the questions that we will explore together using primary & secondary sources: 


  • What does it mean to be an American?
  • How has this definition evolved/changed over the years? Or, has it?
  • What have we & what do we do well?
  • What have we & what do we do wrong?
  • Can we fix the problems? If we try, can we take it back later? 
  • Based on historical documents (primary sources) what promises does our country make to us? 
  • How should the government treat people?
  • Should all people be treated the same? 
  • Where does liberty & freedom come from? For example, Government, God, or something else? 
  • Is the "good" life the American dream? 
  • Is the American Dream for everyone? 
  • ​What does freedom cost & who pays for it? 
  • As Americans, how should we respond?
  • What does it & should it mean to be a "good" citizen?
  • Who is the "good" or "best" American? Who should be our role model? 
  • Do we have the right to impose our ideologies onto other people? 
  • What can be done to protect the oppressed? 
  • How can you love your country, and show respect, while staying true to your conscience and possibly fighting for social change? ​​
