You are a journalist writing for the school newspaper.
Your editor wants you to write an article about cultural identities and how they can affect teenagers. She gives you the novel, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, an article on Native American students and college, and an article about life on reservations to use as resources. She also suggests using your own personal stories and experiences to make it more interesting to readers.

The Task: Your assignment is to use the sources to write a multi-paragraph explanatory article that explains the challenges and benefits of having multiple cultural identities. Specifically, how does life on a reservation affect the teenagers that live (or lived) there? Make sure you establish a clear thesis and support your thesis with evidence from the sources.
