ABI LF - Competing narratives of American identity

Mini-description: Compare several documented concepts of American identity and analyse their values, patterns of inclusion and exclusion, and historical contexts. The aim is not to rank political positions, but to build a differentiated, evidence-based interpretation suitable for the English Leistungsfach in the Kursstufe Baden-Württemberg.

Language route: English first → infer from context → use word families and visual clues → explain in English → consult a monolingual dictionary → use a bilingual dictionary or brief German help only when necessary.

Working principle: A narrative is an interpretive frame that selects, connects and gives meaning to events, values, symbols and experiences. It is neither automatically true nor automatically false. In analysis, ask what a narrative highlights, what it leaves in the background, whose perspective it represents, and how it changes in historical context.

Media entry: Before reading any explanation, write three short hypotheses in English: What story of America is suggested here? Which values are visible? Who is not yet visible?

Einleitung

This aiMOOC is designed for advanced upper-secondary learners of English. You work with short primary-source excerpts, images, archival footage and institutional educational resources rather than long text walls. Your task is to compare evidence, not to reproduce a ready-made interpretation.

The key tension running through the course is simple but demanding: How can ideals such as liberty, equality, opportunity and belonging coexist with historically changing boundaries of citizenship, migration, race, Indigenous sovereignty and social participation?

Use the materials to formulate your own evidence-based answers. Different narratives may overlap, compete or change over time. Avoid statements such as “America is …” when the evidence only supports “this source presents America as …”.

Abi alignment: Baden-Württemberg, Leistungsfach

Checked: 3 October 2026. The official 2028 Facherlass for English names the USA field “Politics, culture, society – between tradition and change” and includes “American ideals and realities – freedom, equality and the pursuit of happiness” as well as current questions of identity and political, cultural and social development. In the Leistungsfach, AFB II and III are to be weighted more strongly than AFB I.

For the central written examination in 2028, the official structure combines Hörverstehen and Schreiben. The writing section includes aspect-oriented reading comprehension, evidence-based analysis and a choice between a personal response and a guided writing task. Visual and other discontinuous materials may be included. The Kommunikationsprüfung is regulated separately.

Important distinction: Sprachmittlung is part of competence development and is assessed in the qualification phase, but it is not listed as a separate component of the central written English examination in the 2028 Facherlass.

I-can goals

By the end of this course, I can …

distinguish a national narrative from a historical fact, legal rule, political claim and individual experience.
compare at least three concepts of American identity using precise evidence from different media.
explain how values such as liberty, equality, opportunity, citizenship, pluralism and sovereignty are framed differently.
analyse inclusion and exclusion without reducing complex groups to stereotypes.
connect wording, visual design, perspective and communicative purpose to historical context.
build a qualified argument using claim, evidence, explanation, counterevidence and synthesis.
speak coherently in a monologic response and develop ideas interactively in a discussion.
write an aspect-oriented summary, analysis and response without replacing my own work with AI-generated prose.
verify dates, quotations, statistics and source provenance before using them.

Vorwissen: activate before you study

Without looking anything up, place these terms into a concept map: liberty – equality – citizenship – migration – frontier – assimilation – pluralism – sovereignty – opportunity – belonging – exclusion – civil rights.

Then mark each connection: solid line = you can explain it; dotted line = you are unsure; question mark = you need evidence.

Do not translate immediately. First explain the relationship in simple English.

Media entry: six images, six possible stories

Look at the sources in chronological and thematic contrast. For each image, complete only one sentence first: “This source makes American identity visible through …”

Viewing routine:

Describe only what is observable.
Identify source type, date, creator or institution where available.
Infer the narrative or value frame.
Contextualise it historically.
Question what or whom the source does not show.
Connect it to one contrasting source.

Competing narratives: comparison map

Narrative lens	Values often foregrounded	Inclusion claim	Tension or exclusion to investigate	Useful evidence
Civic creed / founding promise	liberty, equality, consent, rights	belonging through shared political principles	universal language can coexist with historically restricted legal and social membership	Declaration of Independence; Fourteenth Amendment
Frontier / westward progress	self-reliance, mobility, expansion, opportunity	the self-made settler or pioneer becomes a national figure	Indigenous presence, sovereignty and displacement can be pushed outside the frame	John Gast’s American Progress; maps; Indigenous perspectives
Nation of immigrants	renewal, opportunity, contribution, belonging	newcomers can become members of the nation	migration law and assimilation pressures changed over time; the formula does not adequately describe every population or history	Ellis Island sources; naturalisation law; migration records
Melting pot / pluralism	unity or diversity	identities may merge into a common culture or coexist within a shared polity	ask who is expected to adapt, which languages and traditions are privileged, and whether “unity” requires sameness	migration testimony; citizenship material; cultural sources
American Dream / mobility	aspiration, effort, success, opportunity	individuals imagine social and economic advancement as attainable	outcomes are also shaped by historical, legal and social conditions; a narrative of opportunity is not proof of equal opportunity	advertisements, speeches, life writing, statistics
Black freedom struggle / unfinished equality	equality, citizenship, civil rights, democratic participation	founding principles are invoked as claims that should apply more fully	legal equality, social practice and lived experience can diverge	Great Migration sources; March on Washington; civil-rights documents
Indigenous continuity and sovereignty	nationhood, land, community, continuity, sovereignty	Indigenous peoples define identities that predate and continue alongside the United States	immigrant and frontier stories can marginalise Indigenous political and cultural perspectives	Indigenous-authored materials; museum resources; contemporary cultural documentation
Wartime belonging and exclusion	citizenship, loyalty, security, rights	citizenship can be presented as a shared legal status	the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II shows a historical conflict between citizenship, racialisation, wartime policy and civil liberties	National Archives records; 1942 photography

Do not choose a “winner”. Your task is to explain what each lens makes visible, what evidence supports it, what complicates it, and how two or more lenses interact.

Historical anchors: ideals, law and lived experience

Date / period	Anchor	Analytical use
1776	The Declaration of Independence articulates equality, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as founding claims.	Compare universal political language with the historical boundaries of membership and rights.
1790	The first federal naturalisation law restricted eligibility for naturalisation to “free white” persons meeting its conditions.	Distinguish political ideals from the legal rules governing access to citizenship.
1868	The Fourteenth Amendment constitutionalised birthright citizenship under its terms and equal protection of the laws.	Trace how citizenship and equality were legally redefined after the Civil War.
late 19th / early 20th century	Large-scale immigration and Ellis Island became powerful elements of later memory and identity narratives.	Compare migration experience, assimilation and retrospective national symbolism.
1924	The Immigration Act of 1924 established restrictive national-origin quotas and excluded immigrants ineligible for citizenship.	Examine how an immigration nation could also construct legal gates to entry.
1942	Executive Order 9066 enabled policies that resulted in the incarceration of Japanese Americans.	Analyse conflict among national security claims, citizenship, race and civil liberties in wartime.
1963	The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom publicly connected civil rights, economic justice and democratic claims.	Analyse how protest movements can invoke national ideals while criticising their incomplete fulfilment.

Primary-source starting points:

Listening and Viewing

Station A: founding language

Task before viewing: predict five words you expect to hear around rights and government.

First viewing: identify the main historical purpose.

Second viewing: note language that presents principles as universal or self-evident.

Transfer: formulate one sentence beginning: “The civic-creed narrative draws on …, but historical analysis must also consider …”

Station B: Indigenous and African American histories in relation

These Smithsonian / National Museum of the American Indian materials invite comparison rather than a single national story.

Listening focus: Who defines identity? Which historical relationships are foregrounded? Which terms require historical context rather than direct translation?

Challenge: Select two claims from different speakers. Paraphrase each accurately, then explain one connection and one difference without ranking the speakers.

Station C: civil-rights mobilisation

Listening and viewing focus: distinguish what the archival footage shows from what you infer. Then connect the visual evidence to the language of rights, citizenship and democratic participation.

Station D: Japanese American incarceration

Use the official National Archives material as your documentary reference: Japanese-American Incarceration During World War II.

Source discipline: An educational animation is a secondary explanation. An archival photograph or executive order is a primary source. Do not treat them as interchangeable.

Media rights and classroom use

The Wikimedia Commons files above link to their file pages, where the applicable licence and attribution information can be checked. Keep creator, title, source and licence with material you reuse.

The YouTube videos are embedded from institutional or rightsholder channels. Use the active embed instead of downloading, copying or re-uploading video material. Do not insert unauthorised film scenes from compulsory works such as Arrival. If your class connects this unit to compulsory literature or film, work from school-provided, lawfully licensed copies and cite only brief, task-relevant excerpts as permitted.

Reading: short source set instead of a text wall

Reading rule: Do not read everything line by line at first. Establish provenance, genre, date, audience and purpose before close reading.

Source	First question	Second question	Cross-source link
Declaration of Independence, 1776	Which principles are presented as universal?	How does persuasive language establish legitimacy?	Fourteenth Amendment
Naturalization Act, 1790	Who could enter the legal route to naturalisation under this law?	What does the contrast with universal ideals reveal?	Ellis Island / immigration narrative
Fourteenth Amendment, 1868	How is citizenship defined?	Which constitutional concepts reshape the equality debate?	civil-rights sources
Immigration Act, 1924	How does law regulate entry and belonging?	What does quota logic show about the historical construction of inclusion?	“nation of immigrants”
Executive Order 9066 and National Archives context	What powers and categories are used?	How did policy affect Japanese Americans?	citizenship / wartime belonging
March on Washington archival material, 1963	Which demands connect rights and social conditions?	How are national principles used as critical standards?	founding promise / unfinished equality

Reading output: For every source, write no more than four lines: claim – evidence – context – connection.

Context vocabulary: English first

Word / word family	English explanation	German emergency help
include – inclusion – inclusive	to make people or groups part of a larger whole	einbeziehen
exclude – exclusion – exclusionary	to keep someone outside a group, right, space or process	ausschließen
belong – belonging	to be accepted as a member of a group or community	Zugehörigkeit
citizen – citizenship	legal membership in a state and the status connected with it	Staatsbürgerschaft
naturalise – naturalisation	to grant citizenship through a legal process to an eligible non-citizen	Einbürgerung
migrate – migrant – migration	to move from one region or country to another	Migration
assimilate – assimilation	to become more similar to a dominant culture, sometimes under pressure	Assimilation
plural – plurality – pluralism	the coexistence of multiple groups, identities or viewpoints	Pluralismus
sovereign – sovereignty	possessing political authority or self-governing power	Souveränität
settle – settler – settlement	to establish residence; in colonial contexts the word may involve land, power and displacement	ansiedeln
enfranchise – disenfranchise – disenfranchisement	to grant or deny participation rights, especially voting rights	Wahlrecht geben / entziehen
equal – equality – unequal	relating to equal status, treatment or rights	gleich / Gleichheit
narrate – narration – narrative	to organise events into a meaningful account	erzählen / Narrativ
ideal – idealise – idealised	a principle or model; to present something as better or more perfect than the evidence warrants	Ideal / idealisieren
qualify – qualified – qualification	in academic argument: to limit a statement so that it matches the evidence precisely	einschränken / differenzieren

Word-building challenge: Choose four rows and write a sentence in which changing the word class changes the function of the idea, for example noun → adjective → verb.

Analysis toolkit

Use this eight-step chain for advanced analysis:

source → claim → selected evidence → language/form → inclusion/exclusion → historical context → counterevidence → synthesis

Analyse a non-fiction text

Ask:

What is the author's central claim?
Which groups, values or experiences are foregrounded?
Which examples, statistics, quotations or references create authority?
How do register, tone, lexical fields, syntax and forms of address guide the audience?
Is the presentation balanced, selective, polemical, commemorative, explanatory or persuasive? Prove the description.
What historical context changes the meaning of the text?
Which second source confirms, complicates or contradicts the first?
What qualified conclusion survives both sources?

Sentence stem: “By framing ___ as ___, the source foregrounds ___; however, the historical context of ___ complicates this presentation because ___.”

Analyse a visual source

Use the Abi-relevant categories: composition – proportion – scale – symbolism – perspective – captions – headings – slogans.

Do not stop at naming a symbol. Explain its effect and its relationship to the source's larger narrative.

Weak: “The light symbolises progress.”

Stronger: “The contrast between illuminated and dark areas visually associates westward movement with ‘progress’; the composition therefore privileges a settler perspective and requires comparison with Indigenous historical perspectives.”

Analyse a photograph

Use three layers: denotation = what is visible; connotation = meanings suggested by framing and context; historical claim = what the photograph can and cannot demonstrate.

Never infer a photographed person's thoughts, motives or identity unless the source metadata supports that inference.

Speaking

Kommunikationsprüfung: train a different performance from the written exam

The communication examination is not simply an essay spoken aloud. Train: selecting evidence quickly – structuring a monologue – reacting to a partner – clarifying – challenging an idea respectfully – synthesising.

60-second drill: “Compare the civic-creed narrative and the nation-of-immigrants narrative. Name one overlap, one difference and one historical complication.”

Dialogue drill: Partner A begins with one narrative. Partner B must add a source that complicates it. Partner A reformulates the new insight before adding another source.

Useful language: The source foregrounds … / A limitation of this framing is … / This does not necessarily mean … / In contrast to … / A more qualified reading would be … / The two materials converge on … but diverge in …

Recordings are optional and private. Do not upload recordings unless your school task explicitly requires it and an approved platform is provided. A live rehearsal with a partner is fully sufficient.

Writing

Abi writing sequence

Step 1 – aspect-oriented summary: Select only information relevant to the requested aspect. Do not analyse yet.

Step 2 – analysis: Link content to form and communicative effect. Quote or paraphrase selectively and accurately.

Step 3 – synthesis / response: Connect materials, evaluate the strength and limits of claims, and formulate a reasoned conclusion.

Practice prompt: “Analyse how the supplied material constructs American belonging. Compare this construction with one documented narrative from the course and discuss how historical context complicates both.”

No replacement essay: Your final response must be your own reasoning and wording. If your teacher permits AI support, use it only for transparent, limited purposes such as generating practice questions or identifying possible counterarguments. Check every factual claim and source yourself. Do not submit AI-generated prose as your own assessed writing.

Writing self-check

Check	Yes / revise
I answer the operator precisely.
Each analytical claim has evidence.
I distinguish source content from my interpretation.
I include historical context only where it explains the material.
I connect at least two materials explicitly.
I use qualified language instead of absolute generalisations.
My conclusion follows from the evidence rather than introducing a new claim.

Mediation

Mediation remains useful competence training in the Kursstufe even though it is not a separate component of the central 2028 written examination described above.

Scenario: A German school museum wants an English information card explaining why Ellis Island is an important symbol but not a complete account of American identity. Mediate the relevant ideas for an international audience in about 120–150 words.

Do not translate sentence by sentence. Select purpose-relevant information, explain culture-specific concepts and adapt register to the audience.

Differentiation and support

Route	Support	Expected depth
Foundation	vocabulary table, source questions, sentence stems, two-source comparison	accurate explanation and one supported contrast
Standard LF	reduced scaffolds, three-source matrix, independent paragraph planning	differentiated analysis of form, context, inclusion and exclusion
Challenge LF	four or more sources, conflicting evidence, minimal prompts, independent source checking	synthesis across media, historical periods and narrative frames with explicit counterevidence

Pace option: Work with three core narratives first: civic creed, nation of immigrants, unfinished equality. Add frontier, Indigenous sovereignty, pluralism and wartime belonging for greater breadth.

Language option: Before German help, use an English synonym, word family, example sentence or monolingual dictionary definition.

Feedback and error analysis

Peer feedback

Give feedback on evidence rather than political agreement.

Two strengths: “Your strongest evidence-to-claim link is …” “Your most precise qualification is …”

One revision target: “To make the interpretation more defensible, connect ___ to ___.”

Typical analytical errors

Error	Repair move
turning one source into a statement about “all Americans”	specify speaker, group, time, genre and source limits
treating a national ideal as proof of historical reality	compare principle with legal or social evidence
calling a source “biased” without analysis	identify selection, perspective, language and omitted alternatives
using present-day categories without historical context	define the category in the period studied
listing stylistic devices	connect form → effect → purpose → narrative
giving two separate mini-essays instead of a comparison	use explicit points of convergence and divergence
presenting inclusion and exclusion as simple opposites	examine who is included, by which rule, in which domain and at what time
inventing a quotation, date or statistic	return to the primary or institutional source before writing

Transfer

Transfer the method, not a political verdict.

Compare one American identity narrative with a British identity debate from the course theme “Politics, culture, society – between tradition and change”.
Connect migration narratives to On the Move: Migration and Cross-Cultural Encounters.
Compare a legal source, a photograph and a literary text: how does each medium produce a different kind of evidence?
Create a concept map showing where citizenship, belonging, identity and culture overlap but are not synonyms.

Abi-Check

Before an LF task, ask yourself:

Have I identified the operator and material type?
Can I summarise only the requested aspect?
Can I analyse language, structure or visual design rather than merely retell content?
Can I contextualise without turning the answer into a history report?
Can I connect material to a relevant narrative without forcing a memorised template?
Can I name counterevidence or a limitation?
Can I distinguish legal status, cultural belonging, political ideals and lived experience?
Can I write a qualified conclusion?
For listening: can I follow unfamiliar authentic material without needing every word?
For communication: can I react, clarify and build on another speaker instead of reciting a prepared essay?

Mini mock: Choose one image from this MOOC and one primary source. Give yourself 20 minutes to plan an aspect-oriented comparison. Write only a thesis, three analytical paragraph plans and a conclusion. Then check whether every paragraph uses evidence from both materials.
