OPVL

You picked up some handouts in class:

• Weekly WIL explanation (AGAIN)
• OPVL Document Analysis Defined
• OPVL Document Analysis Chart
• The American Idea, by Theodore White
• Pledge of Allegiance by Francis Bellamy (from history.org)

In class, weanalyzed the Pledge of Allegiance using the OPVL method and one side of the OPVL Analysis worksheet. I love introducing the Pledge before we establish our new nation because the Pledge is more than symbolic - it is a perfect example of how our nation has evolved and changed over time.  The USA of 2014 is VERY different from the USA of 1892 and 1776.

WIL 1.3 Individual or Group? (9-26-14)
What is more important/valuable - the individual or the group?

You should consider popular American ideals/values, as presented in the Declaration of Independence (specifically paragraph 2) by Thomas Jefferson, Theodore White's "The American Idea"  and the Pledge of Allegiance by Francis Bellamy.  Also consider your Explorer's project & presentation.
