Post date: Oct 22, 2012 7:25:11 PM

Students are creating a flipbook in which they translate the first four sentences of the Declaration of Independence. They are simplifying Thomas Jefferson’s words without making them too simplistic. In class we have been working together in groups and as a whole class to understand the heart of Jefferson's ideas in the Preamble and in the Rights of Citizens. See below for helpful Powerpoints and our criteria.
