Think about.....

In class today we shared journal entries about rising tensions and resentments in the colonies and finished historic background up to the Declaration of Independence. The class brainstormed which rights they believe to be important to young adults. Homework is to continue brainstorming ways you might state these in the Declaration of Independence for young adults and how you might go about ensuring these rights are upheld in preparation for study of the actual Declaration of Independence of the U. S. tomorrow.

Please, note: because the four journal topics assigned over the weekend were fully covered in class discussion today, we are moving on to this "thinking homework." You don't need to write anything down unless you think you have more ideas than you can remember to share w/class tomorrow.
