About This Lesson
Authors of both nonfiction and fiction have defined the American Dream and offered varying viewpoints on the extent to which America fulfills the ideas implicit in this dream. In this module, students will examine multiple texts, including poems by Walt Whitman and Langston Hughes, and then frame an analysis as to whether or not, or to what extent, America fulfills these ideals.
