5 5 Lesson Procedures: Introduction 1. Split the class into 4 groups (this may vary depending on class size). On an overhead screen or on the white board pull up the two primary source pictures. 2. Have the group s together work on what they think these two pictures are of and their meanings. Have them write it down on one piece of paper. The groups can decide a writer. 3. After giving the groups a couple of minutes, explain to them that a book is going to be read to see if their questions are answered. Proceed to reading the book, The Journey of the One and Only Declaration of Independence by Judith St. George. 4. Once the reading is complete, ask each group to answer these inquiry based questions again on a sheet of paper. What was the Declaration of Independence? Who were some important people involved? Who were the 13 colonies trying to gain independence from? 5. Have the groups share by calling on students who raise their hands. 6. Go back to the pictures put up in the beginning of the lesson and explain them more in detail just in case some students are not following along as well. Explain to them that one picture is an actual copy of part of the Declaration and the other picture is a picture of them signing the document which we celebrate on July 4 th. Development 1. Show the students the readable text of the Declaration explaining to them we are not going to read this whole document because it is very challenging and overwhelming. Explain that they are going to as groups look at parts deeply to try and distinguish a meaning. 2. Tell the students that each group will receive a line from the document where they are to collaborate and come up with a meaning. 3. They will portray their meaning through a poster. One side will be Great Britain s meaning and the other side will be what the independent states received from the Declaration of Independence. 4. Teacher s example could be: For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us Great Britain s side would be that they controlled everyone with swarmed amounts of armed troops everywhere. Independent side would be that now the 13 states have freedom from such a controlling atmosphere. Here they could draw a picture of large amounts of troops and then an American Flag to show freedom.
6 6 5. The 4 groups would be given the following passages from the document Group 1 For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent Group 2 He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people Group 3 For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world Group 4 For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences 6. The teacher will circulate the room helping out and giving ideas where needed just in case the group is steering the wrong direction. The groups should be working together to try and define a meaning from these passages. 7. Once they have derived a meaning, they will portray it on construction paper with markers, crayons, and or colored pencils. Culmination 1. Once teacher has given ample amount of time or seen that most groups are finishing up, she will proceed to the next part of the lesson. 2. Each group will take turns coming to the front of the room and sharing their passage and their meaning represented on their poster. 3. The teacher will talk about it to the class and help the children understand what the passages mean. 4. The teacher will then answer any questions that still are of concern to the students. Assessment 1. The first assessment was their poster. Based on the book reading, the primary source pictures, and discussion, they were to illustrate a poster with the meaning of a passage from the Declaration of Independence in mind. 2. Their second assessment will take place the next day following the lesson so they will have time to take in all this new information. They will be asked to write 1 important fact they learned, 1 passage they learned the meaning of from the posters, and 1 interesting idea they will take from this lesson.

They will be given a scenario that they will act out in front of their class. The scenarios will be: *You are a well treated slave that becomes a part of your master s family. You never think about running away because all of your necessities are met. You wonder how your brothers and sisters are doing and hope they have it as good as you do, however, do you go look for them? *You are a poor treated slave. You are whipped and work all day long. You don t know if you will be able to eat and are very afraid of your master. You think about running away, but don t know what to do. *You are Thomas Jefferson. You own a few slaves because you know they are valuable to your land. You have considered ending slavery and think slavery makes people afraid, but you also see the potential in slaves. What should you do? *You are a Caucasian person living in the south. You do not own any slaves and don t plan on owning any. You feel bad for the slaves that work in the field all day long. You know some slaves are trying to escape. Do you open up your home to runaways or keep yourself safe? Development 1. We will begin examining an advertisement by Thomas Jefferson on a runaway slave. Ad/ 2. As a class, we will discuss the language used in the advertisement, what we know about the slave from reading this document, and what we might know about Thomas Jefferson from this document. 3. After reviewing this advertisement, the students will create their own advertisement. The advertisement can be from a slave owner s perspective, a slave s perspective, or a non slave owner who lives in the south. 4. The students will create this activity individually and use resources to gain ideas, as well as using their own creativity. Culmination 1. Share student s advertisements with the class.

I will then group the students into groups of 3 or 4 and give them all the same scenario. 3. I will tell them that they are in the process of buying a new area of land to add to their town, Sheepsville. I will tell them that This land is very important to help your town grow and you need to be careful about what you buy. (This will help them become more knowledgeable about the environment around them) 4. I will have them think individually for a couple minutes on what they feel is important when buying a new land. This will help them grow intellectually as an individual. 5. They will then share their ideas and possible brainstorm briefly for more ideas and create a list of the things that they would want in the new piece of land and make sure they know why they want those things. 6. I will then have the students share what they had on their list to the class. Development 1.
