Standard: RI 11-12.9
Objective: Students will be able to analyze The Declaration of Independence for its historical and literary significance, in addition to, its themes, purposes, and rhetorical features. Do Now: Students will work independently to answer a prompt projected on the board (minimum of 4 complete sentences). Whole Class: Students will review what was read and discussed from the previous day. We'll go over classroom norms when it comes to reading, tracking, and annotating complex texts. Independent: Students will attempt to mirror the structure and (some) of the language used in The Declaration of Independence by writing their own Student Declaration of Independence. This creative writing assignment forces students to analyze the structure of The Declaration of Independence, while allowing them the freedom to come up with reasons to be independent of parents, teachers, etc. Collaborative: Students will continue to read and annotate The Declaration of Independence in pairs. Exit Tickets: Students will fill out a Google form (<--- click there) based on what was discussed/read in class. Comments are closed.
