Loc: Teachers: The American Dream

Curated by ACT

With the help of digitized primary documents -- pictures, photograph, recordings, and written accounts -- young scholars will explore and define what the "American Dream" meant for people over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. After defining "American Dream," students will produce a creative means of presenting this definition, for example, through photo essay, poetry, movie storyboard, or music.
