Declaration of Independence: Grievances against King George III
Grade Level:
8
Subject:
Social Studies
Topic:
Declaration Of Independence
Objective:
Students will be able to: Evaluate a text and interpret the meaning of a primary source document through reading and class discussion. They will define unknown tier 3 vocabulary words related to content. Students will also identify important historical figures as related to this time period and the creation of the Declaration of Independence.
Other Information:
Learner Diversity: For first period pre-AP class, Ss will be given 1-2 grievances each, but still work in pairs to discuss ideas. For the other classes, SPED Ss will be paired with non-SPED students to decrease reading load and help with analyzing primary documents. Both audio and visual learners will benefit from hearing the text read, seeing the text, the discussion and the video where they can listen for grievances in mentioned in the song.
