On Monday we learned about the lives of migrant farm workers to give us context to our story. Today we will discuss the American Dream. In our story, George and Lennie are after their version of the American Dream. What is the American Dream? What does the American Dream mean to you?
We will do a brief pre writing activity and discuss our responses. Than we will look at the following article that describes opinions of Americans on the American Dream. Then we will read another article which people describe what the American Dream means to them.
After reading and discussing I want you to do some writing on what the American Dream means to you and whether or not that dream is achievable. Please complete the following American Dream handout and follow ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Your assignment is due Friday (5/6).
