We started today by returning to the discussion of "liberty" we started on Wednesday. In addition to writings from Adams, Otis, Jefferson, and Hamilton, we read voices representing Native Americans, Slaves, and Women. What are the different perspectives on "liberty" raised by these voices?
We moved to a look at the writings by Paine and Henry you read for today. Each person selected a quotation from one of these documents, and then we read these aloud in a circle. There was great energy to these readings, including a thrown book!
For the second part of class we heard the Declaration of Independence. In pairs you worked on these questions (click for a copy of the prompts).
