Distance Learning: Inquiry Lesson - The Declaration of Independence | US History

My students are mostly below grade level readers, so they struggled a lot with this. But, it was a good struggle and they were able to develop some comprehension "muscles."

This was a fun students for my students, because they were actively engaged as they were trying to answer the essential and supporting questions. I really liked this style of learning and it was a unique way of teaching that helped students connect the materials to themselves and make a lasting impression.

Im impressed, this works well for younger grade too!

This resource was such a huge help to me! But more importantly it helped my students learn and understand the Deceleration of Independence. The lesson is organized very well into sections, each section related to part of the Declaration, and students are answering supporting questions, which each help them understand the key concepts. Students are able to explore and analyze the primary source for themselves. The power point sides were incredibly helpful for students to understand the context of the document, as well as some of the unique vocabulary words that are essential for understanding the Declaration. Im going to keep using this resource in all my cause because of how much my students liked it, and how effective it was at engaging students in learning.

This resource is fantastic, it takes apart in to pieces a large concept, then each section is analyzed by students.

This is a great resource for teaching the Declaration of Independence. Its student centered and allows them to engage in the sources.

My students liked this, they worked individually, in partners, or groups, as they read through the parts of the Declaration of Independence and answered the questions.

This lesson broke down the Declaration of Independence in to 3 parts, and has corresponding questions to each part. Students then read each part, analyzing and answering a supporting question that helps whit the big picture idea.
