Patriotism

Compelling Question: Is an act of protest patriotic?

The very foundation of American history was built upon the success of a rebellion in the Revolutionary War. A tradition of patriotism has provided a strong backbone for the nation ever since. For this inquiry, you will consider whether or not America’s democratic institutions are strengthened through occasional opposition to American leadership. From the Vietnam War era, you will have an opportunity to learn about the reasons for and against the anti-war protests and examine the ways in which America’s towns, schools and families were divided over the war. You will grapple with issues related to message versus method: Could one agree with the message of anti-war protesters while disdaining the methods of protest? Could one support President Richard Nixon’s goal to stem the spread of communism while protesting the bombing of Vietnamese and Cambodian villages? You will reflect on your own views on patriotism and evaluate whether a soldier with a rifle and a protester with a bullhorn can be equally patriotic.  

Summative Performance Task: You will choose 1 

Argument: Is protest patriotic? Construct an argument (e.g., detailed outline or two paragraphs) that addresses the compelling question using specific claims and relevant evidence from historical sources while acknowledging competing views.  

Extension: Adapt these arguments by rewriting the lyrics to a popular song to address the compelling question while also referring to specific details and evidence from the featured sources.
