Travel back in time with me. The year is 1776. We’re going to start our journey learning about the signers of the Declaration of Independence, why they signed, what their lives were like before and after signing this document. The why is easy. They signed for you, for your freedom, for the country you now enjoy. In this fun and interactive class, students will engage with the teacher and other students to learn about John Adams, signer of the Declaration of Independence and second President...
Students will learn about the life and achievements of John Adams, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and second President of the United States, as well as his unique friendship with Thomas Jefferson.
The topic of slavery will be very limited. Information will include the discussion surrounding the ideals as expressed by Adams and Jefferson in the writing of the Declaration of Independence (which was ultimately removed), that included a criticism of slavery. A short video clip (2 min) with that discussion will be shown. The clip shows the discussion of the abhorrent practice but the phrase is removed because the men believe the resolution will not pass with the criticism included. No racial slurs or inappropriate language will be shown in the class or discussion.
Source material will be the book by David McCollough "John Adams", the official website of the John Adams national site, https://npplan.com/parks-by-state/massachusetts-national-parks/adams-national-historical-park-park-at-a-glance/adams-national-historical-park-old-house-at-peacefield/, and a few clips from the John Adams mini series which is also based on the book by David McCollough.
