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.

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.
