As a wrap-up for our study of the Declaration of Independence, I decided we should write our own declaration. I used this website for some questions to ask the boys. The three of us brainstormed the list of complaints together, and Orion and I did most of the ‘what are you going to do about it’ questions.
Then I sent all our notes and a link to the original text to Orion . ..and he put together the first paragraph and the list and sent it back to me! I did cut the list slightly (to make it fit on a page!) and I wrote the last paragraph.
We think it came out pretty well! Click on the image to see it full size.

Love it! Very creative way of combining your social studies explorations with something in their lives. Thank you for sharing!
