For these first few weeks of class we have been exploring the question: What does it mean to be an American? Now that you've read Mitt Romney's speech, how do you think he answers that question?
Select a quotation from the speech and use it in a response on your Google Document. Explain what his quotation means, and how he is defining what it means to be an American. Be sure to read what the other members of your group are saying as well. Allow that to guide, change, or enhance your own response. Look at the creation of the common document as a conversation about Mr. Romney's speech.
