  1. Bell-work 10/29/13 After watching the video answer: Why was the D.O.I so important in our path to independence? What did it do? TSWBAT compare/contrast the ideas of the DOI EQ: How did TJ start the DOI?

  2. Objective: • Students will be able to compare and contrast the key philosophies of the Declaration of Independence as evidenced by completed declaration with 80% accuracy • Where does today’s objective fit into the unit learning goal for levels 2 and 3? • What is the difference is difficulty or complexity between levels 2 and 3? • Label TOC include page 36, Declaration to the King

  3. Writing Activity: • You must address the King of England in a colonial petition including your grievances and desires for independence • Use evidence and details from what you have learned to pack the petition with emotion. • You can slam the King, you petition must include at least five complaints about the King or English rule • Make is sound intelligent and be sure to make your emotions clear • It must three parts: preamble, lists of complaints, and declaration of independence.

  4. 1. Vocabulary • Thomas Paine- author who called KG3 a royal brute and wrote the influential pamphlet Common Sense • Richard Henry Lee- introduced the Virginia resolution • Resolution- a formal statement of opinion • Preamble- beginning to the DOI • Grievance-formal complaints

  5. We must explain why we are breaking away with England! 2. The Declaration of Independence • Brilliant piece of writing built on ideas from the Enlightenment • Principle author was Thomas Jefferson. • Explained why the colonists wanted to break away from British rule • The declaration began with a preamble or an introduction • It would change the world

  6. 3. Natural Rights • The preamblediscusses general ideas about society and government • Jefferson states that all men are endowed with certain unalienable rights • These statements were based on John Locke’s ideas about natural rights

  7. 4. List of Grievances • The sec0nd section of the DOI • This section outlines how the King and Parliament violated the rights of the colonists • They were written as complaints against the King • DOI lists 27 of them! • Examples of such included taxation without consent, depriving us of trial by jury, and sending officers to harass us • Because he ignored our petitions he is considered, “unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”

  8. 5. Dissolving the Bonds • After showing that the king had violated the rights of the colonists and establishing that people have the right to abolish an unjust government, the Declaration reaches a logical conclusion • FREEDOM and independence from Britain • The serious tone of the declaration meant that independence was a deeply felt step of the Patriots

  9. 6. What was the impact of the DOI? • On July 4th, 1776 the Congress approved the DOI. (this is why we celebrate July 4th!) • The risk for those signing the document was great, they could be killed by the British. • The DOI changed the nature of the revolution, made the war for freedom OFFICIAL • The Patriots were no longer fighting for better treatment…they were fighting to create a NEW NATION! • No turning back now…

  10. What was the impact of the DOI? • The DOI is one of the world’s most lasting documents • The idea that “all men are created equal” still inspires Americans and people from other nations • In 1776, these words only applied to while, male property owners; but over the years Americans worked to expand natural rights to all • Now there would be an independent nation of America

  11. Summary • In one paragraph at the bottom of your CORNELL notes summarize the impact of the Declaration of Independence. Why was it so significant? How did it change the world? • Progress Chart: Complete your progress chart for objective C. If you are below a three…what could you have done to get higher on your chart? What aspects of this objective are you confused about?
