In History, we are studying the Revolutionary War, and all the events leading up to it. We watched a video on the events leading up to the Revolution and took notes on the key events. After that we took a test. We then watched the sequel to it on the beginning of the Revolutionary War. It involved the First and Second Continental Congresses, and the recruiting of George Washington for the general of the Continental Army. We also have been learning about the Declaration of Independence. We have to either recite of write down this excerpt from the Declaration. I plan to recite it. We also did this team activity where ewe took excerpts fro the Declaration and put them into words that are easier to understand.
Declaration of Independence-Excerpt 2:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
