Know/Understand

1.  We will have a dramatic reading of the Declaration of Independence.  We will present to the Vanguard mentors in class.  Everyone will choose two available sections in the link for the sign-up.  Add an accent, bring some emotion, make it unique to you.  We will take a few minutes to get in small groups and practice your sections and then we'll get up on the balcony and present the Declaration of Independence.  See the link below for signing up for your two sections.  You will see the opening and ending paragraphs will be everyone together, otherwise, take your pick, but sign up quickly because spots will go fast.

2.  Election Speeches of the Vanguard United States Government:
Everyone was nominated for at least one government position.  Prepare a two-to-three-minute campaign speech for the position for which you were nominated.  You should understand the responsibilities of the position for which you were nominated and reflect that in your speech.  

You can review the summary of responsibilities in the "Understanding the U.S. Constitution" workbook, referencing pages 10-29, you can look up your respective position.  

If you were nominated for more than one office or position, you may choose up to two to prepare a campaign speech to present. MAX 2 - 3 minutes.  Your time will end at 3 minutes whether you're finished or not.  

You can see what you were nominated for At This Link


Become/Serve

Reflect on your reading of the Declaration of Independence.  Imagine you were there at the vote to accept the document and declare independence from England.  Knowing that you are now considered a traitor to England and you, and your family, could be tried and hanged, why would you have chosen to vote for independence.  Write how you would have felt in your journal.

OR

Write in your journal some of your thoughts about the Declaration of Independence and why it matters today.
