  1. 6Y 02-10-2017 Friday Declaring Independence Objective: Describe how the American colonies formally broke away from Great Britain. You will need your Chromebooks – but DO NOT turn them on or open them until you are instructed to do so. We will not use them until the end of the lesson. If you do not follow these instructions, you will complete the assignment in your notebook instead. Agenda: • Prayer • Do Now: (You do not need to copy these instructions down – just complete the task below.) Task: Copy the table labeled “Taking Notes” on the bottom left hand corner of page 118 in your notebook. Use a new page in your notebook. Use the whole page for the table. (If you have been absent/need to take the quiz – see me at my desk during this time) 3. Chapter 4.2 Lesson 4. Chapter 4.2 Questions – Chromebooks. 5. No Homework

  2. Power to Govern before the American Revolution During the 1700s, all around the world the people in power were pretty much born there and they made most if not all the decisions.

  3. Thomas Paine http://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/american-revolution-history/videos/thomas-paine?m=528e394da93ae&s=undefined&f=1&free=false

  4. Read Together Words in Bold: Many colonial leaders agreed with Paine. In June 1776 the Second Continental Congress assigned Thomas Jefferson to write the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence formally announced that the colonies are breaking away from Great Britain.

  5. The Declaration of Independence http://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/american-revolution-history/videos/declaration-of-independence?m=528e394da93ae&s=undefined&f=1&free=false

  6. The Declaration of Independence • Take 2 minutes to silently look over the Declaration of Independence. • It is divided into 3 sections. Can you find where each section begins and ends? Write it down in your notebook. • Share your answer with your partners.

  7. The Declaration of Independence Part I: Unalienable Rights • All people have unalienable rights – rights that they are born with and cannot be taken away because they were given by God. These rights include “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Part II: Accusation of King George III • King George has been violating the colonists’ rights by taxing them without their permission and by passing unfair laws. Part III: We Declare Independence • Since King George III violated our rights, he no longer has the right to rule us. Now fill out the second column of your table: “Main Ideas of Declaration”

  8. Unfinished Business • Read the section titled “Unfinished Business” – as you read, fill out the last column of your table. • When you are done with your table, leave it on the top right hand corner of your desk for me to check. • Open Google Classroom. There is a new assignment there that you can begin.
