As we have wrapped up our unit on the American Creed, we wrote an expository essay in which we wrote what the American Creed means to us personally. I wrote that the American Creed encompasses our past, the present, and the future, as well as everything America was meant to be.

The American Creed: a statement of the values and ideas we consider to be “American.” It is not officially established, but events throughout American history suggest that the creed is very real. But why is the creed important, and what does it say about this country?

This is the digital story about the American Creed that I created in my critical literacies class. I wanted to show what America was really like in a poetic form. I'm glad I got to create this because I got to express my ideas.

This is an image I made to represent our first president, George Washington. With the help of my peers and facilitators, I was able to 'mask' George Washington using the words I believe represent the American Creed.

America to me is freedom, expression, diversity and equality. I made these words in the shape of an eagle to represent what America means to me.

During our American Creed project, we all made a digital story to represent our personal idea of what the American Creed means to us. I saw the American Creed as a representation of Patriotism, Equality, Unity, and Freedom.
