You Will Need… Your copy of the “Declaration of Independence” Writing utensils for annotations and written responses Handouts provided by the teacher later in the lesson 1 minute

As You Listen… Make sure you note any confusing or unfamiliar words so you can look up their meanings. Annotate for MAIN IDEAS. To find main ideas, ask yourself, “What is the most important information in this section of the text?” 12 minutes

Ink-Pair-Share DIRECTIONS: Take about two minutes to consider the questions below. WHEN DIRECTED BY YOUR TEACHER, you will share your thoughts with your partner. Then we will discuss as a group. What ideas did the framers of the Declaration of Independence express in the document? Why was it so important for them to express these ideas in this way and at this particular time? 5 minutes Possible Answers One of the biggest, most profound ideas expressed in the Declaration of Independence is that “all men are created equal” which became a cornerstone of American democracy throughout history.

More Class Discussion Questions What are some of the ideas about government that are implied in the “Declaration of Independence”? Why did some of the colonists want to remain under British rule? 4 minutes Possible Answers The Declaration of Independence also implies that government should serve the people, not the other way around. Thus, the purpose of a government is to help individuals, and if a government doesn’t meet that goal, it should be abolished. Some colonists did not have many grievances that affected them personally, and additionally, many colonists felt that they must remain loyal to their country. More Class Discussion Questions

Partner Work 4 minutes
