  • Worksheet
  • Join to access all included materials

Learners analyze the Declaration of Independence. They identify and describe various sections of the document then discuss how the colonists responded to it. As a culminating activity, they write their own declarations of independence as if they we were under the rule of harsh authorities. While the link provided for the document analysis worksheet is not functioning, the sheet is attached on the final page of the packet.
