Kamere Journal #1 Due before midnight Saturday
The topic of this journal is the idea that the United States is a "melting pot." For this journal, I want you to tell
me which parts of your home culture you think the U. S. should adopt and add to its dominant culture. What from
your culture do you wish Americans would integrate into their culture? Examples could include food, holidays,
clothing, traditions, etc. This journal is due Friday, September 17 at 11:59 PM. All of it needs to be your own
ideas. If you take any of it from the Internet, you will get a zero. I will know if you didn't write it yourself. Use
this journal writing as practice writing for Paragraph 1, and be careful to write a topic sentence with a controlling
idea, include transtion words for your three main points, support your three points with explanation, details and
examples, and write a conclusion sentence that restates your topic sentence. Your paragraph needs to be 12-14
sentences.
Be sure to say where you are from and what culture you're talking about. Use specific details please.
Thanks!
