How has America changed over time?

Theme image

America's history is rich with innovation, cultural shifts, "rags to riches" stories, and more. But do we recognize the America from early literature as the same America we know today?

What makes America unique?

Theme image

American exceptionalism is the idea that America is qualitatively different from other nations. In fact, America, "the land of the free," was formed on this idea. In this category, students will read everything from early American texts to popular song lyrics and decide for themselves what values or concepts are quintessentially "American."
