Friday, October 21, 2017 Assignments: Declaration of Independence - A Breakup Letter
"It is like... so over George.. We Cannot be together anymore and you wanna know why... well.. because you've been like a super jerk lately" Ok so the declaration of Independence was written much more articulately, but you get the idea, the Declaration was one giant break up letter. In it, the colonists explained why they didn't like the way they were being treated, the support and backing for their ideas and of course, a list of things that "the super jerky king guy" did to them. Today we will be breaking down the Declaration of Independence together to ensure you understand WHAT the colonists were saying and WHO was influencing their ideas. Before we do, lets stop for a dance break, because it just may be to late to apologize. media type="custom" key="28853696" __** TASK I: Declaration Preview **__ Take out a Sheet of Notebook paper, be sure to head your paper with your name, class and date. Write the title on your paper as seen above. While watching the video above, I want you to focus on a number of things: 1. What are the colonists upset about? (be specific!) 2. When/where does this take place? How do you know? 3.Do you recognize any of the figures? From where? 4. What was the purpose of the Declaration of Independence? Now that you have some background knowledge and some basics of the Declaration and the 1770s, we can really get our hands dirty. We are going to be looking at some specific excerpts of this historical document and see if we can break them down and bring them up to date. To do this, you are going to need your critical thinking skills and a bit of creativity. To start, download the file below, read through the directions on completing the task. Mr. Gleason has a hard copy if you would rather hold on to this paper and write your answers in rather than do it electronically. __** TASK III: So how did we get here... **__ So we know we signed the Declaration of Independence because we were super upset with King George III. He was going some awful things (but so were the colonists, don't forget that!) Using the Prezi Presentation below, explore how specific events influenced the writing of the Constitution and led to the Colonists declaring independence. as you scroll through the Presentation head your sheet of Notebook paper with the heading above and answer the Key questions below: a. What major events led to the writing of the Declaration of Independence and subsequently, the Constitution? b. Explain three cause and effect situations. For example, because the French and Indian War cost the king lots of money, he taxed the Colonies to pay for it. (you cant use mine :( c. What do YOU think were the major causes of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. media type="custom" key="28853738" __** TASK IV: Colonial Influences **__ so, you may be wondering where the Colonists got their ideas from, I mean, they were VERY different from the way they had been ruled by King George III. In fact, several core documents impacted the colonists' view on government and their ideas reflect the values of the Enlightenment thinkers. Some of these documents include the English Magna Carta, the English Bill of Rights, the Mayflower Compact, and Common Sense by Thomas Paine. By the End of this task, you will be able to explain the impact of each document and depict how the ideas influences the writing of our government. 1. Download the colonial Influence reading below and read through it with your partner sitting next to you in your row. If you want to work independently, that's fine as well. 2. Download the Colonial Influences Graphic Organizer below and create the same organizer on your sheet of Notebook paper. Using the reading above complete the Graphic Organizer. 3. You may utilize the PPT file below if you need a bit more information.
