Write Your Own Declaration of Independence Rubric
Write Your Own Declaration of Independence Rubric
You are fed up with all the rules imposed on you and have decided to do something about it. Using the format of the original Declaration of Independence, draft your own declaration. Include all sections reviewed in the lesson. You may use some of the same language as the Declaration of Independence but be sure your reader understands: 1. Your reason for writing, 2. What you feel your "natural" rights are, 3. the complaints you have, and 4. What you are doing about it.
