Grade Level:

Subject:
Social Studies
Topic:
Grievances against the King of England
Objective:
Students will be able to: demonstrate a mastery of knowledge about the grievances in the Declaration of Independence (DOI) using texts and the internet, interpret the meaning of a primary source document through writing, evaluate and judge the worthiness of the grievances, demonstrate presentation skills by presenting to the class their research and writing.
Other Information:
Learner Diversity: For first period pre-AP class, Ss will work with their partner to evaluate and summarize the 4 grievances that their team has in total. Each pre-AP S will summarize their grievance in his/her own words. For the other classes, SPED Ss who are paired with non-SPED students will use resources that are a lower reading level to evaluate the same grievances as their partner. If necessary, the non-SPED student can read the text or SPED Ss can ask T to read text. 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.
