4 Before we begin Why America? Get out a blank sheet of paper, section it into three sections on the front side. Write your name and the date in the top right corner.
5 Why America? Why do you dislike America, or why could you see why others may dislike this country? Answer on your own sheet in the first section.
6 Why America? What does this flag represent? What does it mean to you? Answer on your own sheet in the second section.
7 Why America? Why should you appreciate the United States? Why should we love America? Answer on your own sheet in the third section.
8 Why America? If you are frustrated, remember The only system [except a perfect world] in which equal rights and equal opportunities are possible realities is in a democratic state, along with a mostly capitalistic economy.
9 Why America? Split into groups. You have four minutes to list reasons why America should be loved as a democratic, mostly capitalistic country on your big note sheet provided. You will share reasons with class.
