Today we took a deeper look American ideas about liberty. We began with some writing in our notebooks by responding to the following prompts:
1) What are your first thoughts or definitions that you have about liberty?
2) Describe a time when you have benefited from or enjoyed having a certain sense or type of liberty?
3) Describe a time when your liberty was restricted? By whom? For what? Was it a reasonable restriction?
In our groups we then discussed our responses and reactions to the readings from the American Reader that we prepared for today.
Finally, in new groups, we shared our thinking about American ideas of liberty by filling out this chart (which is also posted in the Unit Two tab above).
