Workshop | What does it mean to be American? Denotative meaning is the literal definition of a word. As an example, American, according to the dictionary means:

The meaning of a word based on time, space, beliefs, emotions we associate with a word based on our individual or societal ideals. What does being American mean to you? American Studies Journal | Introduction Description Your American Studies journal is a document that records your ideas, thoughts, and reflections about the world around you. Entries to the journal will be connected to topics and questions that we study and discuss in class. As with all the writing you encounter in American Studies, your journal should be thought-provoking, insightful, and descriptive in nature. However, this does not mean that it is done solely in the written form; it may include visuals, collages, symbols, etc. In short, the journal is a place to sift through your many thoughts about the past, present, and future states of America. You are not expected to rewrite the questions I give you in your journal; however, you are expected to answer questions thorough enough for me to infer the original question. Do not respond directly to the question. Take for example the original question was What is the American Dream?
