Independence Day in the United States is July 4th. Join me as we look at the history and significance of the Declaration of Independence. We'll understand why this document was written and the different parts of the Declaration of Independence. We'll also explore the group of people who wrote and signed the Declaration. Not all people in America received independence through this event. Through the use of primary sources, Google Slides, Classkick and a Kahoot review game, we'll understand what the Declaration of Independence says, what inspired the document and who did not receive equality in independence. Together, let's grow our minds just like the United States has grown with a changing, developing and diverse nation since 1776. No prior knowledge is required for this class.
