This lesson was so fun. We were learning about the Declaration of Independence and took a little twist with it. Listen how enamored the kids are as I read the letter out loud to them. Then listen to how some are still not making the connection. Then finally listen as the light bulbs are coming on near the end and it begins to make sense. I will not take credit for this idea. While searching the internet for ideas I ran across this used in a middle school classroom and decided to try it out. The outcome was better than I could have hoped.
