Writing Assignment on a Chosen Topic Regarding the US

Together we have brainstormed and created a mind-map with your thoughts and knowledge regarding the United States of America. 

Your assignment is now to go deeper into one subject. It can about pop culture, history, food, some famous person, politics or something else that you find interesting.

You are to write an essay. The essay should include an introduction, facts about your topic and an ending (maximum of one A4 page).

Use the list with formal expressions in the writing process.

When you’re done with the essay you are to write three questions connected to your topic to discuss with your peers.
