Section 2: Section Diagnostic

Utilizing evidence from “What Makes an American” by Raoul de Roussy de Sales and any other texts you have read during the unit, use the following questions to guide a Socratic Seminar:

  1. How has the notion of being an American changed over time?

  2. What are some of the enduring ideas about what it means to be an American?

Use the texts you have read to pose new questions, support your responses to your classmates’ questions, and develop a more critical understanding of what it means to be an American.
