I was looking for an effective Website to explain the words of the Declaration of Independence to 5th Graders. This video titled, "Understanding the Declaration of Independence: 9 Key Concepts Everyone Should Know", by Craig Seibert, can act as a model for the students:
Michigan GLCE: 5-U3.1.5 Use the Declaration of Independence to explain why the colonists wanted to separate from Great Britain and why they believed they had the right to do so.
Objective: The students will draw lines dividing a print out of the Declaration of Independence into the three main parts, underline key words, such as, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and put stars (*)next to each grievance King George III inflicted on the colonists.
This is fun and I'm getting lots of lesson plans made. Thanks "23 Things".
