American+Dream+Unit+Assessment

American Dream Mobile
Throughout this unit we have analyzed how the American Dream has been depicted throughout time and how that compares to your own opinion of the American Dream. Using the Personal Tabs you created throughout the unit, you will pick one scene from the novel that addresses the American Dream. You will then choose from one of the modern texts an excerpt that also relates to the American Dream. Third, you will choose an experience from your own life that represents your own opinion of the term American Dream. Using images, you will display at least three aspects of each scene and how it reflects the American Dream. You will then use each side of the top of the mobile to depict visually how these renditions compare and contrast. Finally you will write a two page paper explaining your choices and how the three different scenarios represent the American Dream.
